Why doesn't the scientific community criticize marxism for it's anti-scientific theories more? It's on par with homeopathy and scientology.
They actually believe humans don't have biological instincts and that the "mode of production", meaning capitalism, socialism etc defines ALL human behavior.
A political or economical ideology is not inherently or objectively anti-science unless the main stated goal is to destroy or abolish science.
What's more is that it wouldn't be hard to claim that any ideology X is anti-Y based on conjecture. Using such vague generalizations is sloppy thinking, user. Anyone with a will/desire to find ideology X guilty of being anti-Y will find ideology X of being anti-Y.
tl;dr: Shit thread, inherently and objectively.
Michael Turner
>A political or economical ideology is not inherently or objectively anti-science unless the main stated goal is to destroy or abolish science. Okay fine. It's pseudoscience then.
>tl;dr: Shit thread, inherently and objectively. Yes, let's defend a theory that denies evolution because they happen to be leftist.
How embarrassing for you.
Nathan Butler
Why would scientists waste their time criticising sociological theory, such as social conflict theory, which is what Marxism is. If you're trained in chemistry, you don't have the foundation of knowledge in politics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, or economics to form a good critique.
Wyatt Gray
scientists don't care about politics. we'd prefer to stay up in our ivory towers and occasionally ask those in charge for more money.
Brody Powell
Marx didn't deny evolution, per his own statements.
I'm not concerned about the politics, left or right. I'll take the science. How absolutely humiliating for you.
Jack Hall
>Marx didn't deny evolution, per his own statements. Of course he said he didn't, he was a compulsive liar that constantly contradicted himself.
His actual economic and social theories DID deny evolution and human instincts though.
Marxists believe all human behavior is the result of economic forces instead of instincts.
It's very unscientific bullshit.
>How absolutely humiliating for you. Are you a marxist? You seem to be projecting pretty hard.
Charles Martinez

Marx never really made a theory, particularly an economic theory. All of his writing on economics is just a critique of David Ricardo and Adam Smith. Stop posting, you haven't even read Marx.

How am I the one projecting, lad? You're the one coming on the science board and meaninglessly posting about Marx. The OP isn't even about science, it's a vague question about the behavior and actions of scientists (who are not a monolith) and then a claim that either the ideology of Marxism or the false idea that science does not wholeheartedly reject a political ideology is 'unscientific'.
I am not a Marxist. I am not a Capitalist. I am not a Taoist, a Maoist, a Christian, a Jew, or a Muslim. I am a man. I am not the one with an agenda; that would appear to be you.

Ayden Green
>Assuming someone is from /b/ because they don't agree with you
Lad, I can tell you're getting frustrated, but I am not going to force you to reply.
I cannot seem to find anything where Marx claimed all human nature, as you have claimed, is dictated by economical conditions. However, even if he had said something to similar effect with the exception of 'all' human behavior, he would be correct, as economic conditions do dictate human behavior in numerous ways. However, it appears as though you took that and made the conjecture that Marx was anti-science because you believed him to be anti-evolution because he said that behavior can be dictated by economic conditions, which it most certainly can be. As you can see, there are many gaps in this line of thinking. However, in doing so, you failed to look at evidence in which Marx claims support of evolution as correct and disregarded it by merely saying he is a liar.
Oliver Bailey
>I cannot seem to find anything where Marx claimed all human nature, as you have claimed, is dictated by economical conditions. Not him, but that's actually essentially what marxists believe.
Evan Morris

Jeremiah Martin
>>Not him, but that's actually essentially what marxists believe. i've seen it claimed for certain things like greed. but taking the greed example, where does the behavior of greed exist? in a society of scarcity. if we lived in a post scarcity environment, then it doesn't make sense for greed to exist, since there isn't any sort of extra incentive one would get from engaging in activities like hoarding or resource competition, and that they are logically contradictory to a post-scarcity environment. it's a weird twisted thinking i admit, but something like this could help one understand what the marxists are thinking.

Carter Clark
Mind telling me where Marx says that all human behavior is dictated by economic conditions? Even other later Marxists like Lenin, I'll take those too. I do think that you will have a hard time arguing that, unless what has been written incontrovertibly states something to the effect of "All human behavior is dictated by economic conditions" (with the word 'all' being emphasized, due to the fact that the statement that is asserted to be either essential to Marxism or claimed to have been made by Marx and his followers is largely true once it [the word 'all'] is omitted), Marxism and Marxists believe that economic conditions and economic conditions alone are the root of all human behavior. Even if something suspect is found, the context must be looked at to determine whether or not an out-of-context quotation makes it seem as though something was said that truly isn't being said.
This isn't about defending an ideology, it's about pointing out sloppy thinking. The whataboutism and childish shouting of "Go back to /b/!" is all a distraction.
Landon Morris
Not an argument, kid. Marx critiqued and inverted Smith and Ricardo, he didn't create a theory from first principles in relation to them, he just showed (according to him) the contradictions in the capitalist mode of production. And yes, you haven't read Marx, it's very clear from your idiot posts.
Jack Fisher
>Lad, I can tell you're getting frustrated Heh you're angry defense of marxism in the fact of logic seems to upset you. >I cannot seem to find anything where Marx claimed all human nature, as you have claimed, is dictated by economical conditions. Lol dude it's literally the BASIS of dialectical materialism. They believe the capitalist mode of production is what defines all human behavior and needs to be changed to a socialist mode of production then a communist one.
This is exactly what they believe. Are you actually denying this?
>he would be correct, as economic conditions do dictate human behavior in numerous ways. So does anything else. The economy does not change human instincts no matter how much you marxist teenagers whine about it.

Marxists actually believe that creating a massive authoritarian state, this state will be able to socially engineer humanity and then will magically "wither away".
How fucking retarded is that?
Grayson Price
I'm not angry, lad. And the Marxists seem to disagree with your definition.
Also, now you're shifting the conversation away from behavior which is influenced by economics, instincts, as well as many other social and biological factors, and now saying, in your own words "The economy does not change human instincts...", when originally the conversation was about human behavior and whether or not Marxism is anti-science due to the OP and subsequent posts in which an individual or individuals understanding Marxism as being anti-evolution because someone, with no primary source, has been claiming that the idea that ALL human behavior is dictated by economic conditions is a tenet of Marxism.
Once again, you still won't give me the quote where the founders of Marxism claim that ALL human behavior is dictated by economic conditions. That is, after all, the crux of this problem, as once 'all' is removed, there is nothing incorrect about that statement.
Aiden Sanchez
I'd just like to point out that nowhere in any of the links posted has anything said that Marxism believes humans don't have instincts
Eli Martin
>And the Marxists seem to disagree with your definition.

In fact laws of history is a marxist thing. >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx's_theory_of_history >The Marxist theory of historical materialism sees human society as fundamentally determined at any given time by the material conditions—in other words, the relationships which people have with each other in order to fulfill basic needs such as feeding, clothing, and housing themselves and their families. It's like you can't even grasp marxism 101.
>Also, now you're shifting the conversation away from behavior which is influenced by economics, instincts, as well as many other social and biological factors, and now saying, in your own words "The economy does not change human instincts..."

It has the phrase you used defined, and it's different, meaning that the Marxists themselves do not define it the way you claimed Marxists defines it.
Second, economic conditions fundamentally have an impact on behavior. To say that it doesn't is objectively false. Nowhere have you proved that Marxism does not believe that biological beings do not have instincts. Plus, if you were actually thinking, you'd realize that instincts are about survival in a world where resources are finite, you know, an economy of resources. I thought that I might be going back and forth with someone that understood that, but now I believe I see what you are doing. Haha, guys, Marx thinks you get thirsty because of economic conditions!

>It has the phrase you used defined, and it's different, meaning that the Marxists themselves do not define it the way you claimed Marxists defines it. They define it exactly as I had said it. You want more proof. >However, in the sixth Thesis on Feuerbach (1845), Marx criticizes the traditional conception of "human nature" as "species" which incarnates itself in each individual, instead arguing that the conception of human nature is formed by the totality of "social relations". Thus, the whole of human nature is not understood, as in classical idealist philosophy, as permanent and universal: the species-being is always determined in a specific social and historical formation.
>Second, economic conditions fundamentally have an impact on behavior. No shit they can have an impact on human behavior. Nobody is denying this.
We're only calling you religious fundamentalists retarded for thinking ALL human behavior is the result of economic forces and the "mode of production".
It's entirely unscientific and denies the very basics of human evolution and instincts.
Embarrassing.

So far all you've done is
1. Prove that Marx is right about economic factors influencing behavior 2. Saying I'm defending pseudoscience (when I'll I'm doing is attacking the sloppy thinking of OP and friends) 3. Hurling out childish remarks
What part of "Marx is anti-science because I claim he's an evolution denier based off of a definition of a term that doesn't mean what I mean it means because I incorrectly understood it to mean that Marx doesn't believe in biological instincts except I had to walk that part back because as it turns out Marx both wrote about his support of evolution and because economic conditions, or the condition of resources and their allocation, do in fact influence behavior and our instincts because our instincts exist as a biological survival tool in a world where resources are finite"
And why is that? I'm not defending Marxism. I'm not advocating for the abolition of capital and the state. All I've done is point out that OP and friends are criticizing the scientific community (which is not one person) for not doing something that they wish they would do based on their own and incorrect understanding that Marxism is anti-science through a convoluted and flawed mental-gymnastics routine that somehow leads from "Economic conditions have an impact on behavior" to "Marx is anti-science" via "Marx incorrectly believes instincts are a product of economic conditions" which, as it turns out, is quite correct as resource availability largely drives our instincts.

No one here is denying that, though. The only issue is that even though Marx wrote about the existence of instincts, OP and friends have decided that Marx doesn't believe in instincts (which he wrote about existing) and therefore didn't believe in evolution (which he also wrote about and supported) and is therefore anti-science. It's not hard to see who is on the losing side.
