this thread turned from a question of whether or not marxism was presently sufficient into a question of marxism's fundamental validity into defensiveness and personal attacks in like 5 pages? lol

i've been thinking about this too and i think it was. i'm loathe to use the "human nature" argument but clearly there is a massive gap between the theory and the practice. The current system works (inasmuch as it does actually "work") because it provides for all aspects of human behaviour, not just selflessness, collective identity and community spirit.

basically: what did Marx have to say about bronies? until he or his descendents can articulate their ideas to them (and not in some shitty lacandian psycho faux-marxist context) then it's useless. I don't think Marxists realize just how irritating politics is to most people, just how apolitical they really want to be

i don't recall that being posted, i would have thought it obvious why young socialists aren't working in the socialism factory and i don't think anyone's holding that against them

think it was an interesting OP and i read it in terms of: will marxism be a historical dead end in the same way that say, zoroastrianism is.

Dude your forum is a god damn joke. is it supposed to be a place for serious discussion? i can see how bringing in goatstein, IWC and getfiscal would help with that.

is it supposed to be a place for funny trolls and ironic metaposting? i can see how bringing in goatstein, IWC and getfiscal would help with that. im making the biggest "...NOT" borat face right now, its so big it can be seen from the moon because thats how fucking stupid this forum is

the quality of the posting, "funny" trolling etc is about on par with the assorted muck you find in the piping of a sink that hasnt been cleaned since 2006.

like many forms of historicism marxism presumes to foretell the 'end of history', and as such it is by merit a 'historical dead end'. read popper.

you can't squeeze blood from a rock, my friend. i would interject something profound w/r/t the topic but i'm an idiot. i can actually ban people right now, i just remembered, but i don't know what that would accomplish. i mean, as i just said: people either jhave garbage ass aesthetics and destined to espouse worthless ideas, or they are unwilling to tear away from their ironic detachment from the Real and engage in serious discussion. i don't really know what you think should be done? there're like 10 people who post here

Engaging in completely base discussion about what anime shows are best is actually more intellectually engaging and funnier than any of what you formulaic sub-gbs "trolls" engage in. Goatstein literally tried to "own" me by quoting heavy metal lyrics. Why do you people continue to fucking exist.

Or you know, 100 regs on a forum where everybody hates you just so you can finally prove some internet nerds wrong about global warming, the difference here is: I'm not buying those fictional plushes you mention, you already spent those 1000 dollars. You spent every single god damn one of them, and you continue to do so. You're a nutcase, IWC.
