Suppose Marx's ideas weren't put to such use as they were in the twentieth century - suppose Marx never entered into the world of action, how would he be remembered in the history of philosophy? We know what he is infamous for, what would he have been famous for, if anything?
Marx
Logan Parker
Brody Reyes
Well, he's the first person who really emphasized the class struggle, so he'd probably be remembered as muh as most sociologists and stuff.
Hunter Powell
Bakunin btfo'd him.
Elijah Hughes
a deadbeat dad who impregnated his maid then left her to stave on the streettt
Ayden Martinez
And in turn, Kropotkin BTFO'd Bakunin
Nathaniel Ward
BTFOing Stirner

I wonder if communism will have a comeback in the 21st century

Marx was mad as fuck. That much I can tell you
Brody Russell
/pol/fags will have fun here

Nah
It's been tried and failed. We'll probably just see a dystopian world emerge in the next few decades.
Utopias can't exist.
Jason Smith
I think it most probably will, but in a completely new form/understanding, hopefully.
Dylan Thompson
Bump
Ethan Bell
He's one of the most insightful philosophers in the modern world, he would still be very significant for his contributions to social science, critique of capitalism and a radical continuation of the western philosophical tradition by resolving its problems into political practice.
Andrew Hall
NO REFUNDS
Owen Rivera
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Marx's ideas have never been put into use. Marx was primarily and almost exclusively a CRITIC OF CAPITALISM, correct? He never envisioned a or laid out plans for what a non-Capitalist state would or should look like (as far as I know). So isn't it misleading to associate him with Mao's China, Stalin, etc.?
Carson Stewart
>regular socdem is a communist
Uh-huh.
Personally I really hope proper socialism returns in the western world, we've had enough neoliberalism to fuck us up and destroy any hope for a better world. Enough cocksucking of the ethnonationalist ego, we need some Bolshevik spirit.
Nicholas Lopez
>gets tired of neoliberalism
>doesn't team up with ethnonationalists, neoliberalism's strongest enemy
commiecucks always lose when they fight alone. why do you think Rosa Luxembourg failed where Ernst Rohm succeeded
Cameron Baker
>ethnonationalism, neoliberalism's strongest ally
Yeah, those fascists were so left-wing with their opposition to corporate tyranny...
You are truly fooling yourself, every /pol/ack I've seen doesn't propose any findamental economic change at all, they just swallow all their Mises or Hayek shit.
Wyatt Roberts
You've never read Oswald Mosley, haven't you?
Asher Reed
Nationalists are pure cancer who always ruin socialist movements, I would never support them. I get enough ethnonationalism in ex-yugoslavia, thanks.
Anyway, I Googled the dude and he was some Mussolini fanboy, lmao.
Thomas Cox
>he was some Mussolini fanboy
Congratulations on not thinking for yourself. Typical tankie.

Samuel Clark
Closest we have is Gothakritik, which often goes counter to most of the decisions Soviet Union ever took, hell he even envisaged the final moments of capitalism as the combine of state and private property.
The question is rather if there really existed a "communist" movement beyond a very militant social democracy. The workers wanted a 'larger slice' of capitalist gains, and so did the colonized peoples - there was no real motivation to end the entire capitalist production process (if it was at that point even possible). Tamas made an article on the topic: grundrisse.net
>called him a jew
I'm not sure you know what "btfo" means.
Hunter Garcia
>Ernst Rohm succeeded
>getting shot
>successful
>ethnonationalists, neoliberalism's strongest enemy
Yep, you sure drained that swamp and put HRC in chains.
