I like Marxism? You state that despite me posting 4 times now that I dont?! Wow you got some serious issuesOf course it’s different. Nazism is based on racism. Need I say more?Genocide was committed by oppressive dictators not Marxist ideology. Monasteries with cloistered nuns and monks also operate using Marxist ideology yet you don’t see the violence...Correct because the theory of Marxism can be applied in many different ways. Communes, monasteries, Native American tribes, and societies all over the world operate in a similar way. You conflate everything with the evil actions of a few horrible dictators. It would be like blaming Christianity and all Christians for the violence and murder performed by the warped campaign of the crusaders. Or saying that Catholicism leads to Pedophilia. This is like basic stuff. Why are you acting like a moron and making me explain this stuff to you?!Well I don’t support Marxism and I don’t support torture murder or oppression. I’ve already stated that on this thread but I guess it didn’t register through that thick head of yoursI do? When did I do that?I think acts of murder and oppression are reprehensible. I’m not going to do the idiot thing and link it all the way down to those who want a collective society with the intent to take care of the poor and oppressed. Disagree with the practicality and effectiveness of the politics all you want but don’t make false equivalencies. Who do you think you’re fooling?I don’t think being a Marxist is a good reason for people to be executed... that sentiment is actually more Nazi than anything else. Life is life and if you’re going to cheer the murder of somebody because you disagree with their politics then I’d say you’re a pretty disturbed individual.Thanks for sharing. I hope you feel betterWow, this thread is really bringing out all the douchebag deplorables. What horrible human beings most of you are. A true embarrassment to our species. May god have mercy on your souls
Marxists are teh moral equivalent of nazis.
I feel fine.
I'm glad I'm not the one that is expressing concern, publicly for the well being of a freaking marxist.
Do you think that marxism, with it's history of genocide and mass murder and totalitarian oppression of BILLIONS of people, is the morally reprehensible and anyone that would embrace such an ideology is by their doing so, shown to be a moral monster, who should be shunned by civilized society?
Or do you make excuses for their genocide and oppression, because you agree with many of their ideas?
So, you DO, make excuses for the genocide and oppression of marxism because you agree with them politically.
Incredible.
Meanwhile, people who are not morally reprehensible, find it ok to be amused when bad things happen to really bad people.
I asked you a simple and clear question, and you made excuses and justifications for marxism.
Marxism, an ideology that has killed scores of millions of people, and oppressed generations of people in across the globe.
And I'm not talking about the bullshit micro oppressions you lefties talk shit about, like having to know that a statue in the park you disagree with, is there, but oppression where you get arrested and tortured and when you are executed the state charges your family for the bullet they used to kill you.
I asked you your opinion on marxism and you felt the need to discuss how they " intent to take care of the poor and oppressed" and that you were NOT, "going to link them to the "murder and oppression" of marxism.
YOu did NOT state that did not support marxism. You also did NOT take the opportunity to wax poetic about the suffering caused by marxism or the horrible cost in human lives, or the loss of freedom, or the many, many wars, associated with Marxism.
Your answer, though implied, was very clear.
Marxism in history is primarily represented by the Soviet Union and Red China, both of which committed genocide and totalitarian oppression on epic scales.
That you do not reject out of hand anyone that chooses to risk supporting such a platform, with that track record, is you being a bad person.
That was my point. THanks for validating it.
For the third time now I’ll say I’m not a Marxist nor do I support the ideology but just because I don’t support it doesn’t mean I’m going to spout off like an idiot and try and like it and it’s supporters to genocide and terrorism.
Are you as generous with Nazis? Or is that different somehow?
Nazism is socialism.....marx was as big a racist and anti-semite as hitler....
It doesn't matter. He likes marxism so he invented rationalizations for it. He doesn't like nazism, so he did NOT make up reasons to explain away their...evils.
Pointing out that his rationalizations are wrong, is irrelevant. He is fine with the mass murder and the totalitarian oppression.
Correct. The way that you defend marxists, and make excuses for marxists AND marxism, is far more compelling than your stated denial of support.
