1. The great thing about only getting what you need is the possibility of 900g bread rations.
2. so if I live in a communist state I couldn't own anything? not even like a toothbrush?
3. No one who opposes Marx's ideas has read Marx, or understands anything he's written
4. Marx was absolutely right. Human beings find more value in social relations than material possessions, value themselves based on how they compare to others and naturally group together (hence tribes, religions etc.) All of that implies that we're naturally more inclined to a communal system of equal rewards.
5. So strange Marx wanted to be seen as a scientist but it turns out his work and legacy turns out very much philosophical.
6. I put the 10000th like on this video. Give me cookies.
7. so what exactly is marxism!??
8. As much as I like the idea of comunism it's like shoting the dog at duck hunt,beautiful to think of but something that will never happen.
9. no steppy plz
10. It has never worked, BUT HEY, maybe it will this time.
11. less marx, more Mises
12. What i see in each youtube or social media post about Marx
    1.its full of "anarchist capitalist" whining and moaning about Marx's philosphy
    2."communists " whinning and moaning at the anarchist capitalists
    3.People who are generally trying to have an intellectual discussion about Marxist philosophy.
13. It is important to remember that we have never whitnessed communism in practice. The Soviet Union and Communist Chinna and other such athoritarian communist regimes never established the economic system Marx described in his writings. Atempts to build socialism/comunism may have degenerated into athoritarian regimes but that still leaves open the question of what communism would actualy be like if we discover a way to transition to it succsesfuly. It is as though Russia and Chinna launched rockets to planet communism but the rockets blew up on take off. You may argue that trying to reach comunism will always be too dangerouse but the fact remains that we still don't know what it would actualy be like if we sucsesfully arived there.
14. that's funny because Capitalism actually works better than socialism and communism combined.
    
    then again you did say this is a philosophy more than saying this is logic so I give you credit for your thesis.
15. now do one on Libertarianism
16. capitalism doesn't alienate us from our own nature. quite the opposite actually. our nature is a reflection of all of nature which is built on competition and survival of the fittest.
17. I find it so odd that socialism and communism is always explained by bashing capitalism most of the time. As if the explanation had be repeated to keep the listener from questioning socialism.
18. For any of this to happen, the state would have to have incredible power and with incredible power comes incredible corruption.
19. I believe there will never be a time when there is no poor, no rich, or no middle standing. I do however believe that the wanting to shorten the gaps in between these social classes should be our societies goals. The rich could be better off than the middle , but the middle should be able to live comfortably and these two groups should help the poor so more of them can become middle class. Also the concept of money is fine and dandy now but where will we be when most of our jobs can be done by robots. If robots take most jobs as of now people will go poor by the millions ; the concept of money in the future needs serious rethinking.
20. The ideology of looters and autism scum who would rather let their family starve than get a job.
