Exactly, and the ideal social structure extends it to all of society
There is a key word here that you are not understanding. "Consent." This unit exists willingly.
you assume all families are functional
But the difference between a family and overall society is that you cant know 1 billion people personnally
@Grenade123 thats my point though, these people know nothing about guns and were never asked to know anything about them
You can not expand that ideal social structure without either including consent or losing the ideal factor.
if you take families as a whole, there is a significant potion that don't function. if you expand that to all of society, then you have that potion of society not functioning correctly
at which point, you basically have today's society
Well... for example, I didn't explicitly consent to being a part of my family, and my parents didn't really consent to having me be a part of it.
We simply participate in the family structure as an implicit act.
not everyone does
They willingly help you and accept responsibility for you. If they didn't you would be on the street.
Many people are kicked out of many families.
^
For example, I know a single mother who's son was violent and beat her. Under this system she was able to willingly sever her responsibility over her own son.
your parents consent to you being part of your family by giving birth to or adopting you
and not aborting you
there are so many outs for parenthood it's not even funny
Anyways, yeah, Marxism argues that everybody should willingly compassionately give their labour to others.
how is it compassion when you've forced it?
@Beemann Who said anything about force?
It's not willing if you demand it.
Who said anything about demand?
You did in your own words.
marxism advocates the use of force to bring about a marxist system
@>_ Quote me?
@xmrsmoothx My only concern is that some people wont willingly give their labor away
@Beemann "the use of force to bring about X system" is not the same as "the use of force as an intrinsic part of X system"
"Absolutely yes, and marxism definitely advocates for force."
I will gladly.
so how would you fix that
Damn, who can post pictures in here?
@>_ Just copy the text
how do you enforce compassionate, willing sharing when you enforced the system in the first place through violence?
Alright
@Beemann The easy answer is "read marx"

I'm not really sure I can explain it any simpler: capitalism and the ideal society described earlier cannot coexist, by your own admission, because individuals cannot be held responsible for the existence of others.
the easy answer is "I did and I'm not convinced, try again"
But marx advocates for forceful acquisition of the means of production
You imply here that individuals should be held responsible for the existence of others.
