Marxism, more broadly, goes against human nature.

Not even economics

@UnfilteredGarbage didn't Marx write down that quote?

The economics are bad

There are no economics, Python.

What, the religion quote? Yes, that's the joke

I thought so.

But taking out nation states, heritage, culture, families religion

In the truly utopian state of Communism, there is no such thing.

He was the first neckbeard Atheist who thought he knew everything.

No, he really wasn't. He was just the first to publish his livejournal

The entirety of Marx's influence has been through the capital sale of his works

Let that sink in

Basically, yeah.

Communism wouldn't exist without Capitalism.

Actual communist states don't proliferate Marxist thought, because it would reveal their failures in attaining the Marxist ideal

That's because Communism doesn't actually work.

Hence the amount of information control and revisionism common in those nations

@Little Boots yup

Within the eyes of an economist, Communism's fundamental flaw is the requirement for both the supply of all labor and resources to be infinitely abundant. Scarcity will never be eliminated, and even if we do eliminate scarcity within labor and resources, you still have scarcity of time.

More than that, labor theory of value is just a race to the bottom

Thus, Communism as a natural progression will never be.

Scarcity is impossible to get rid of.

All that happens is it shifts from one resource to another.

My biggest issue with communism is the fact I’m a nationalist

Back two hundred years ago, bread was a desired commodity.

Now, the scarce resource is the materials that go into making computers.

Rare earth elements or REE

Wait

I fucked that up

Rare earth minerals

No

Wtf was it

"but boots 4 gorillion people starve of every year because of capitalism"
