708 Marxism Went Underground

You know, I thought you were better educated than to misuse economic terms. You join half the bullshitters on this site that have no idea what these terms mean, and use them as garbage cans for anything they dislike from the Left side, like somehow equal protection for groups traditionally denied rights is 'Marxist'.
From Wiki:

Marxism is a political and economic way of organizing society, where the workers own the means of production.
Socialism is a way of organizing a society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the proletariat. Marx proposed that this was the next necessary step in the progress of history.
Communism is the theoretical classless, stateless society that Marx proposed would arise after Socialism.

None of which has anything to do with colleges or social safety nets provided by taxing free market capitalist business. Ask a any liberal from college kid to a Hollywood fat cat if they think the nation's industry should be nationalized and they'd think you're insane. Eliminating the health insurance "industry" doesn't count, since they're vampires that produce nothing but inefficiency. Not a "means of production". Using these terms in any way that does not include the context of "means of production" is meaningless.

Who the fuck R U to tell me anything?

I could have predicted that response almost word perfect.

[Martin Hash]

Fuck you.

p.s. I bet you predicted that too.

Marxism can be identified by the tenet, “from those according to their ability, to those according to their need.”

Of course, I’ve covered this in other podcasts, and why the word “Marxism” is appropriately used, but the Marxists don’t listen to my podcasts enough to know.

Fuck you.

Yup. It's the sort of in-depth political analysis that keeps me coming back...

[Martin Hash]

I know it’s not the podcasts because you don’t listen to them.

The underlying assumption on this forum is that I am no more an authority on something than anyone else. That applies for everything, so linking to other sources is just as ineffective because they have no more credibility than any of the rest of us. Therefore, if I want to call a dog a cat, or black is white, no one has any way to prove me wrong because there IS NO AUTHORITY.

The anti-intellectual argument here is irony incarnate from a man who is extremely proud of his education. "Don't tell me that's the aorta, this is my operating table and I'll call anything I fucking want an aorta!!"

People wonder why Jews excel at intellectual endeavors, the reason is none of us would ever dream of supporting an argument with "fuck you, it is because I say so".
