- misunderstands economics, completely, to begin with, and recommends a lot of total gibberish as a result. (marx was someone who never participated in the stock market and completely misunderstood it; came up with the idea that "all of money is wrong and evil" also, then said:
- recommends a lot of violence and theft on top of that, including basically ritualized inter-generational theft and violence. (and as a semi-obvious third 3.: ends up recommending a type of government that is freedom-less and centralized; ie a fascist control mechanism, though to be fair marx didnt explicitly state this nature of it himself, this was more the nature that everyone who picked up his ideas saw in it / the potential of his ideas to just control people and to get them to think they want that, up front, and to even do all the dirty work up front of making it happen. however since he didnt quite say himself "i want exactly this nature of government..." ill keep it to the two points that actually did explicitly come out of him, starting this whole problem of governments like the bad periods of russian or chinese communism or the nazis. hitler took what ideas he liked from marxist socialism, added some ideas of his own, and went against certain other marxist factions with a vengeance; still though his own government was a type of marxist socialist government in addition to the other things about it. it started with taking over all the biggest companies in germany and making them in essence completely government-controlled. hitler made it clear that you do what he says and that the whole state will be centrally planned and that all industry will be converted "for the common good" which in his case was, war against everyone else. the things you can do with marxist socialism, or even with some of marxist socialism! how bout just the stuff about "the current rich people are all bad, LETS GET THEM AND STEAL THEIR STUFF". or, hey, what if you combined marxist socialism, with lots and lots and lots of racism!!!! equals "national" (nationalist) (racist) socialism. currently what we're fighting off in the u.s. in the form of the republicans right now wanting this. actually wanting this! while they think theyre against marxist socialism. theyre so dumb they dont even know what spoon feeding means.
