communists are stupid!

most modern communists have been attacking capitalism for most of their lives... what the dumb idiots don't seem to realise is that modern social democracy has created the conditions where any group of people intelligent, cohesive, sufficiently large and motivated enough can create almost any type of society that they want without hindrance from the "mainstream"... so do commies get together to make worker paradises? no they haven't; their prejudices, their uncritical, convoluted,iconismic and hidebound dogmatic thinking, bitterness, anger and blindness to the world outside their circles of debating, politicking and posing cause them to only have attacked, sniped at,  sabotaged, hobbled, maimed and degraded the very system that creates the conditions that makes the type of society they claim they want possible.

ambiguity in marxism

on some topics a dangerous ambiguity exists in marxism. the concept of class struggle or class war is one such. more later on this. struggle to re-educate or war of clan extermination, the second i despise.

was it deliberate? no idea.

was marx right about anything?

i think his analysis of the transition from feudalism to capitalism was inspired, if a bit simplified, and his description of the mechanics of the capitalist economy was detailed, clear and logical..... in fact reading "Das Kapital" provides a useful business tool.

beyond those two points i have not found anything else to be true in his works. in other words he was very good on capitalist economics, quite good on recent (to him) economic history, and poor in all other subjects, particularly politics and future economics.

lastly tonight just one little point more, he deviated from his particular logic of revolution that he derived from his historical analysis of the development of capitalism from feudalism when he pushed his reasoning into the realms of speculation as he, mostly wrongly, predicted a future "workers" revolution. in short in the first capitalist revolution, it was a previously marginal group, the burgers, or townsmen, that grew their class and changed the economy and politics, but in his second speculative revolution he somehow ignores that and expects what he previously explained the impossibility of to happen, that is for the actual exploited class to take over. that would be the equivalent of a peasant ruled society in the middle ages!!! he forgot his own logic.
