"[K]ill it dead, and substitute word fetishes instead."
"Consider: Marx proposed an economic system where goods and services would be produced without reference to prices, to supply and demand, and to the scarcity of resources. In other words, he proposed economics without economics. This would like someone who proposed a geometric system without points and lines, without definitions and without common notions. In order to answer his critics, Marx told them that to minds conditioned by bourgeoisie means of production, the results of the material dialectic once the dictatorship of the proletarian had ended the exploitation of private property forever was unimaginable to them. For those of you who don’t speak Leftist, Marx merely proposed that oldest and most favorite of Leftist counter-arguments: he told them to shut up."

It seems that whenever I argue with a leftist, and it gets to a really contentious level - which usually follows right after the introduction of inconvenient facts - the "shut up" often emanates from them with a forceful dismissive tone, which sounds to me like "uncle".
It's useful to tell people on your side that they're better than the people on the other side.
It's about theft. Communism, socialism, liberalism: they are all about stealing. I'm not sure whether it was Marx or Lenin, but one of them came up with this:
Property Is Theft.
Why? Because it is the perfect rationalization for stealing, in the name of justice, everything the hated bourgeoisie has accumulated. Obama's 1%. Same shit.
All of that is right on. thanks.
Then you get to the hypocrites on the left: Wealthy Hollywood leftists & Michael Moore- the glittering crown jewel of Marxist theory in motion.
Michael Moore owns 6 homes.
The left want Cuba for the rest of us, while they live like the Castro family.
"It's useful to tell people on your side that they're better than the people on the other side."
I can't imagine an alternative other than switching sides. Economic philosophy is not sports, but war, due to the casualties.
How good was Marx at math?
I mean seriously.
Correction: Moore and his ex wife own 8 homes, including a luxurious vacation mansion called: "Moore’s $2M hypocrite house." and a Manhattan condo created by joining three separate units.
Breathless occupy hypocrisy reports were not forthcoming from Diane Sawyer and any mainstream news outlet.
I've been saying this for years.
Mostly to Ritmo.
It took till now for somebody to write it down?
Well, yeah. It is so much easier not to think and if that means silencing, deflecting, demeaning, drowning, diminishing, and otherwise ignoring the expression of uncomfortable facts, so be it.
Stay in your box, where the state wants you, and don't come out!
"Michael Moore owns 6 homes."
Karl Marx had a maid servant. And he knocked her up.
Oppressor.
