I mean Marx had many good points

Not about communism

with the end goal being totalitarian communism/statism

But critiques of capitalism and how workers should be treated to make society better

and in his view, you need to turn people into communists. you do this by either reforming the system slowly, or revolution. and you need to foster the population into communism.

His critiques helped end the problems with capitalism

which is what I think is happening in the US now

or has been for hte last several decades

he could've been right, had he foreseen the massive global trade.

he believed there would be another revolution.

where the workers would rise against the company owners.

It’s actually very interesting

Watch the video

It’s ten mins

I might have seen it. I watch TSL quite often.

I'll watch it again

interesting video - maybe Marx hadn't contemplated how massively corruptible societies can be... that the poor/working class would generally do the exact same things that the rich would do if given the opportunity

great vid. it was worth the rewatch.

like AOC or rutger bregman talking about soaking the rich rather than looking at the issues of governance (and the natural corruptibility thereof) that allowed the rich to attain their positions in the first place.

Communists and in general, utopianists are naive

That’s the problem

The world isn’t small enough to fix every problem

want to fix the world. start at home

and by home I mean your apartment/house and then your street

In the begum case all I'm saying is that a leopard never changes its spots and it funny that just as her British citizenship was reworked she did have a change of heart.

I don't want her back because I'm opposed to Orthodox Islam, but I see a concerning issue if she's not allowed back in...

...she must be allowed back in or she will be made stateless for political reasons - and if that stands, that opens the door for anyone in Britain being made stateless if they decide they don't like your political opinions.

in her case, they did point out that she is born in Bangladesh where her family is from originally and they grant citizenship for people born there

If terrorists don't like our anti terrorist opinions well... That's just too bad.
