>Class in one of my college classes: Lenin was the good guy. Stalin was the bad guy.
>"History major": Dude you need to like read Karl Marx lmao he was so poetic.
>Other classmate: Oh no that wasn't real communism.
I'm not a /pol/fag but have you run into this sort of thing that people around my age seem to be attaching themselves too these days?
Most young people are politically retarded. Take solace in being one of the ones who (to an extent) isn't.
Amongst undergrads I guess
That's not really fair. I'm sure the op is quite politically retarded in other ways.
you do need to read marx though, especially if you're going to make valid criticisms of his ideas.
I meet more Americans who believe in magic than in communism, or far right wing views either.
How so do you think I am "politically retarded"? Because I think Karl Marx is a meme philosopher that has yet to be proven right about his theory? I'll admit that he might have been correct on some aspects of capitalism but that doesn't mean he was right about his own philosophy.
There's a commie in my history class at uni. He walked in on the first day with a revolution t shirt, constantly interrupts the class, and tries to hit on the cute girls despite being 250 pounds at least with acne and a neckbeard. Thankfully he dropped after the first exam.
Given that you're a student it's basically guaranteed that you're politically retarded.
No, because you're a kid in college posting on Veeky Forums. We're all retards here.
Its usually young immature men who believe in communism
Well I'm sorry for being in college, I do have a part time job so I could just drop out to make you anons think less of me on here.
Marx was right. He described capitalism best and first. He was incorrect in saying that capitalism would peacefully transition to socialism.
Marx didnt believe that capitalism would peacefully transition to socialism though, he believed it would happen through a campaign of violent class-war revolution
>Workers revolution!
>Oh no wait socialism is evolutionary it's the next stage
Seeing human history as nothing but class conflict is just as retarded as natsocs seeing all history as ethnic conflict. Conflicts between groups are complex and revolve around multiple factors, of which class and race are just two.
>peaceful transition
stop playing Assassin's Creed you brainlet, he advocated a violent revolution.
Wow what brave claim to make. Your position is so intelligent and unique, it's like you're just so above it all
But isn't that the most peacfull way to change a systeme from the view of a man in the mid 19th century?
