Can only hope so

2018-11-15 11:03:46 UTC  

maybe we will have our marxist in control of the economy by christmas

2018-11-15 11:03:53 UTC  

Have you visited marx's grave?

2018-11-15 11:03:57 UTC  

Nope.

2018-11-15 11:04:04 UTC  

Why naught

2018-11-15 11:04:12 UTC  

Because i'm not interested in hero worship.

2018-11-15 11:04:20 UTC  

But Marx was a hero

2018-11-15 11:04:25 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-11-15 11:04:32 UTC  

I'd sooner visit Nietzche's grave, tbh.

2018-11-15 11:04:37 UTC  

Eugh

2018-11-15 11:04:47 UTC  

Well at least @Mr. X would be happy

2018-11-15 11:05:04 UTC  

Also, i'm not a marxist, lol.

2018-11-15 11:05:11 UTC  

Do you think the revolution can be done democratically?

2018-11-15 11:05:18 UTC  

A demsoc?

2018-11-15 11:05:20 UTC  

No

2018-11-15 11:05:34 UTC  

I don't think revolution can be done in modern western countries.

2018-11-15 11:05:44 UTC  

Not in the traditionally understood way, at least.

2018-11-15 11:06:08 UTC  

Marx stated that the revolution had to happen in the most powerful countries first

2018-11-15 11:06:16 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-11-15 11:06:21 UTC  

Otherwise things like the Cold War happen

2018-11-15 11:06:28 UTC  

Marx wasn't talking about post-industrial economies

2018-11-15 11:06:57 UTC  

Workers dont have the fundimental leverage that they did in the days of labour unions.

2018-11-15 11:07:13 UTC  

Make the unions great again

2018-11-15 11:07:19 UTC  

Never going to happen

2018-11-15 11:07:26 UTC  

We need 1900s socialism back

2018-11-15 11:07:29 UTC  

THe state have learned there lesson

2018-11-15 11:07:31 UTC  

Not this crap we have today

2018-11-15 11:07:48 UTC  

ANd also, there is nothing to unionise of worth in most western countries.

2018-11-15 11:07:54 UTC  

there is no industry left.

2018-11-15 11:08:12 UTC  

Talking about globalisation?

2018-11-15 11:08:34 UTC  

It's alll outsourced long ago. The mass strikes of the 80's and the smashing of them by thatcher really where an end of an era, imho.

2018-11-15 11:08:52 UTC  

Neo liberalism really was a cancer

2018-11-15 11:09:13 UTC  

Ppl hate neoliberalism thouh so things have to change. i just dont know how effective the traditional marxist model of revolution applies.

2018-11-15 11:09:16 UTC  

Yepp

2018-11-15 11:09:36 UTC  

We lost that battle pretty hard, tbh

2018-11-15 11:10:27 UTC  

It still applies today

2018-11-15 11:10:37 UTC  

It's timeless under an era

2018-11-15 11:10:49 UTC  

Yes, we know who Marx was, kid... ffs

2018-11-15 11:10:52 UTC  

Until the world is rid of capitalism, Marx remains relevant
