Marx’s contributions were significant to the advancement of working people everywhere.

Moreover, I am not saying communism shouldn’t replace capitalism, it definitely should, but it can only be done by the workers themselves, and not from above, by an authoritarian entity like the state, or in other words, a “dictatorship of the proletariat”.

I hate America.

....

yep. It is obvious. But your mother did not abort you so you cannot be a liberal not a real one.

Well I'm not a liberal at all, I'm a communist anarchist.

Same thing these days. Read some books.

I do read books. That’s how I came to that educated answer.

Marx was overtly wrong. His predictions were expected to have occurred near a century ago.
Instead America improved exponentially for decades after the predicted fall.

Just about every aspect of America's demise has a distinct common factor -- increased government involvement, followed by more government involvement to fix the worsening state it created...repeat forever.

There are very few areas in life (if any) where people can say things are better now than an earlier time, and ironically there are very few areas where russians would say things are WORSE now than before.

The difference?
America took on more government
And
Russia got rid of communism.

Not sure what you’re talking about, as a majority of Russians that lived during the Soviet Union and even those that resided in East Germany are polled saying they preferred life under socialism (I would consider it state capitalism, but Russia was supposed to be an example of “actually existing socialism”).

I think Marx was more or less right that capitalism would inevitably result in social revolution, which it has or nearly has in numerous countries.

Marx was right about a lot, especially class struggle, capitalism’s effect on the environment, late stage capitalism, fictitious capital, oppression of women and so on.

Yes they loved communism so much they got rid of it everywhere in the world and was immediately replaced with a capitalistic system...except for a few select nation's where people desperately escape by any means necessary and nobody wants to move to.. hmm..

One could say that an anti-marx equivalent would have been right in predicting the complete unsustainability of communism, given its incredibly short lifespan everywhere at all times

Yeah, the downfall of communism/socialism had nothing to do with pressure from foreign powers, or sanctions or coups or anything like that. Gorbachev is responsible for the dissolution of the USSR, and the World Bank and IMF are responsible for liberalizing former socialist economies. Those two institutions are responsible for the globalization of capital and the continued exploitation of the global south.

If people are escaping communist governments it is because of political repression and authoritarianism. The services they provide are actually very beneficial; China has reduced poverty impressively (Vietnam has poverty decreasing steadily annually as well) and Cuba guarantees health services to all its citizens, and even has a higher literacy rate than the United States. Marx never said a dictatorship of the proletariat should be realized through a vanguard party, or a one-party stronghold over the country, that was Lenin. Most communist governments since the inception of the USSR have been modeled after Marxism-Leninism.

I would argue that capitalism is unsustainable, as literally every 4 to 7 years there is a recession, sometimes a depression. Capitalism is kept alive by the governments that continue to bail it out. In the direction that capitalism is going, greater profits gained by the wealthiest elites while more people are thrown into poverty, there is growing income inequality in all capitalist economies and especially in the United States, a middle class barely distinguishable from the working class. Capitalism is not sustainable for working people, period.

What is with you and the insults? Don't you have any meaningful input or an actual argument?

Your mom is calling you for your bath kid. You got pwned because you outed yourself as someone who hates America. So why you here then?

I know you cucks love Capitalism, but it's got a lot of flaws. As we've seen, it took one pandemic to bring it to a grinding halt. And then guess what had to bail it out? Anyone?

I did not get pwned for hating America. That’s what a rational person who isn’t a blind brainwashed patriot does.

You are not invisible. You just made a list. Big daddy is watching you.

That’s why I hate America. It isn’t a free country.

There’s a reason reactionary conservatives are always losing the new generation: they refuse to better the lives of working people.
