Marx, Riots and Lunatics...

 

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except by the means of achieving the same ultimate end; communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism - by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide..." -- Ayn Rand, "The Ayn Rand Lexicon"

This fat, lazy, crazy doofus to the left is one of the worst human beings to have ever lived. His jealousy, envy, stupidity caused the deaths of some 100+ millions of people and has brought war, poverty and injustice to literally billions more.

He believed he was right. All would-be messiahs do. And that belief, he said, justified just about any atrocity one could imagine, and if Marx himself did not write the shit down somewhere, you'd better believe his adherents did.

Because without the atrocities, they could never succeed and even their success led to little more than one caste of reprehensible people merely exchanging places with others they thought even more-reprehensible.

To be a Marxist, in any form, is to be a vile person. It is to believe that human nature can be shaped -- by force -- into an altruistic instrument. The problem is that the surgeons, themselves, are hardly ever the truly altruistic sort, and they hide their efforts behind a veil of false virtue which, unfortunately, cannot be seen through by the stupidest of people.

I had intended to write an entire essay on the irrelevance of Marx in the modern world, but too much is taking place to devote the time and energy solely to this piece of shit. Maybe I will, sometime soon, get back to that project, but I'm primarily going to focus on what generations of fuckwits have done with his terrible ideas.

Terrible ideas which are now playing out the end game in the form of riots, the problems of immigration around the planet, the Green movement, and the Climate Change cabal.

When I say Marx is irrelevant, I mean to say that his theories have been either shown by experience to be colossally bad, his political system unworkable in it's pristine form, and his ideas superseded by technological and social advance. All that remains is the seminal idea and it has been perverted to the point where it no longer even resembles the original.

To make it short: the days when Marx wrote of a true proletariat, the caricature of the dirty, collarless, cloth-cap-wearing manual laborer, his body warped and destroyed by brute physical activity, working in inhuman and inhumane and often-dangerous conditions, no longer exists. At least not in the civilized world. While there are still professions and jobs that do require hard physical labor much of it is aided, or even wholly performed, by mechanization and automation.

The days of a man stooping inside a 3' high tunnel digging coal by hand is long gone; construction workers have cranes, backhoes, Bobcats, steamrollers, dump trucks at their beck and call. Plumbers, carpenters, even auto mechanics, now have computerized tools at their disposal. Most crops are picked by or with the assistance of machines. The days of purely muscle-driven labor are long gone.

Labor unions and law at various levels have established and maintained worker's rights. In many cases, the labor union (which, IMO, has devolved into a mere extortion scheme) in the United States has been replaced, in practical effect, by state and federal labor laws, leaving the organization as little more than a mouthpiece and income generator for the political left in most Western countries.

The economic theories, such as they were, regarding the value of labor, have been blown to smithereens. As an automation programmer, by trade, I know this to be true. It's what I do: figure out how to apply technology to people's jobs with the goal being to either make the worker more-productive or to eliminate his position, altogether. Add in the factor of access to cheap overseas labor, and labor, itself, becomes less-valuable over time. Toss in a few other ingredients - the oncoming use of AI, unfettered immigration that only serves to drive down real wages, the rise of the Managerial State which taxes and borrows with reckless abandon -- and the idea of one getting fair value for his labor becomes even sillier.

(As an aside, a dirty little secret of my trade -- the easiest jobs to automate, contrary to propaganda, were always WHITE COLLAR JOBS, primarily because they deal in data in some way, shape or form, and so were almost tailor-made for the computer. This is now changing: with machine tools capable of working in multiple axes, 3D printing, robots that do everything from sweep floors and pick lettuce to inspecting pipelines, to welding, and even lay pavement, the Blue Collar dude is going to feel the pinch soon, too. And harder).

In most cases, people nowadays, don't really labor. A goodly number of the workforce sits in air-conditioned offices, or more likely, the comfort of their own home, and taps keys and talks to others on the phone or other communication method. Intellect now rules the labor market, not muscle.

So in some sense, this is why Marx is no longer relevant. The times and conditions which he was writing about no longer exist. They have been rendered inoperative by the advance of technology, the advancement of law, and the erection of new social paradigms.

So why does the mess of really bad theories Marx proposed still continue to hang on?

Because the people who adhere to it have nothing else.

They've rejected religion; they've rejected western civilization; these are terribly miserable people who have deep-seeded, internalized pain that comes with the realization, and full understanding, that they are completely incompetent and that society has no use for them.

Doesn't matter why. If your race/gender/ethnicity can be empirically proven to have contributed very little or nothing at all to the general welfare of the world, then all that's left is rage.

It displays itself in anti-White racism, misandry, anti-Semitism, "queering" and "transing" everything in sight. If I can't be happy, the theory goes, I shall suck the joy out of everything in life so that we're all equally miserable; I shall shit all over those happy people's cherished beliefs and laws.

And that's essentially Marx's original aim: to create an atmosphere of pure spite that could be manipulated for political ends. It was the means by which the truly stupid and the truly useless would "get even" with their betters.

This streak of spitefulness runs through every Leftist dumbfuck idea that has ever come down the pike: feminism, DEI and Affirmative Action, the Welfare State, immigration, you name it, at it's base it's all bile and bluster, daydreaming of the time when the ineffectual "rise up" (how can people who are, by definition, worthless, manage to do anything worthwhile?) and switch places with their supposed "oppressors"...who do a very bad job at oppression, if the images on television are any indication, or the existence of an AOC, Jasmine Crockett or Stacey Abrams doesn't hit the bullseye.

When all you have in your arsenal is fucktard, bad ideas, no work ethic, no respect for institutions, ignorance, and masses of really crappy people, all that's left is violence and lawlessness.
