Picking up where I left off on Tuesday, In today’s money-chasing world, Marxism is sliding down into the Well of Things That Just Don’t Work.<\/p>\n
Marx proposed communism as the answer to the “ills” of society in general because humans tend to get lumped together in class groupings, either by birth, by choice, by endeavor, or by lack of will to do better. Nowadays, it\u2019s mostly lack of will to advance, which is as plain as day in young people who\u2019ve been brought up to think they should have everything handed to them instead of having to earn it.<\/p>\n
An excellent current example of the misguided belief that communism is a classless order, and how it fails utterly, is this entire generation of yo-yos and spoiled brats who were (somewhere, somehow) led to believe that a classless society is the only way to go\u2026 and then they find out that there\u2019s always someone who wants to take over and run things, without asking about it… and that classless society quickly loses its class.<\/p>\n
If we\u2019re really all equal, then why do they go to so much trouble to tell everyone that we aren\u2019t all equal?<\/p>\n
What are they squabbling about? What have we seen in Seattle? Don’t they have a litter of class levels already made up in that swamp dwelling they are trying to homestead?<\/p>\n
Someone said that he was teaching a class in Marxism at some university, but he apparently didn\u2019t notice that this mind pudding twaddle is such drivel that the weak-minded and uninformed can easily get swooped into that line of thought.\u00a0 No realization arrived in his brainpan that it was aimed specifically at the weakminded twits who would swallow it whole without realizing that idealism like Marx’s never works. \u00a0It\u2019s a lot like an old house that has been freshly painted for the real estate market, but no one went to the bother to fix the plumbing problems or put on a new roof, leaving the structure looking good, but rotten to its core. And it won’t be long before it collapses in on itself, and the plumbing lines are infested with water-seeking tree roots, and the wiring hasn’t been updated since 1932.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s obvious that because Marx could get people to do everything for him, including getting an extremely helpful Engels to edit his drivel-loaded manuscripts, that he knew a sucker when he met one.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s entirely possible he echoed those famous words: \u201cWhat fools these mortals be.\u201d<\/p>\n
The “class” structure is not impermeable – something the na\u00efve and uninformed targets do not realize – nor does “class” or so-called \u201csocial status\u201d bar anyone (in this country) from rising to a higher level or sinking to something lower. Hard work pays off. Criminal behavior does not.<\/p>\n
A good example might be John Dillinger in the 1930s robbing banks in Chicago at will and getting shot by FBI guys at the Biograph in 1934.\u00a0 There were Ma Barker and her boys also robbing banks; J.D. Rockefeller getting access to oil fields everywhere he went and founding Standard Oil; and never mind Bell’s invention for deaf children becoming a major communications device. The reason Gates and Allen split off from Jobs and Wozniak was their disagreement about what system to use. Windows simply beat out Apple’s graphical user interface.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/programmes\/face-to-face\/2017\/07\/steve-jobs-bill-gates-rivalry-170709084024457.html\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Otherwise, both went from nearly nothing to what they are today (except Jobs passed). I could go on, but I’d rather not include Zuckerberg in this. \u00a0But you get the drift, right?<\/p>\n Marxism and communism squelch new ideas. This kept the Soviets mired for decades under Stalin and his successors, regardless of how much US classified stuff was sold to them \u2013 you remember that, don\u2019t you? — until Putin came along and began to solve Russian\u2019s economic problems. It kept China in a morass of mass deaths from starvation, poverty and incompetence under Chairman Mao and whoever succeeded him, until finally, Deng XiaoPeng passed and Xi JinPing assumed the Chairmanship of the CCP, putting China on the path to economic stability.\u00a0 Both Putin and Chairman Xi understood the benefits of capitalist economies and were willing to do whatever is necessary to move ahead.<\/p>\n Marxism is the worst form of government and not just because it is philosophical drivel. Marxism fails to recognize human individuality.<\/p>\n It is not human nature to be considered “lesser” or “low on the totem pole”.\u00a0<\/em> It is not human nature to work with no real reward for labor, and yet, that is what Marxism does and why Communism can dominate a political hierarchy for decades. Any objections are squelched. Under Stalin, such people simply disappeared physically and were erased from photographs, history, files, publications.<\/p>\n We all have hierarchies, but we can leave them if they don’t work and we want better. We all have dreams, too.<\/p>\n There is no such thing as a classless human society. That’s where the clueless do their pratfalls. They think that Marxism prevents rank rises and rank envy. Must be hard on them to realize they are the bottom rung on the ladder, and they will have to work hard to get out of that.<\/p>\n That is why the clueless wastes time and space trying to lord it all over everyone else when we’re all on even ground. It’s also why someone like that comes off as an arrogant know-it-all ass. There is no barrier to advancing socially or otherwise, other than what is perceived as a barrier by those unwilling to make the effort to move past it.<\/p>\n I have simply ‘splained, in dumbed down language, how Marx’s drivel was just that: drivel, in addition to which, he was a bum who sponged off of everyone he could snooker into inviting him for dinner.\u00a0 As I said previously, I tried reading the first five pages of his “manifesto” in a required undergrad class and found myself waking up on page 2.\u00a0 It is drivel. I said so in my evaluation of it.\u00a0 I also said it applied to Aristotle, Heidegger, Socrates, Camus, and any other self-important ass that history could dig up out of dusty tomes and unsearched bookshelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
