@batman93oo Once in you life listen what someone out of your propaganda environment has to say. Listen to Bob Avakian watch?v=qJuuZoF9WT8&feature=au
toplay&list=SPDE5CB83A8BE1696B &lf=list_related&playnext=4 It'll souns as communist propaganda to you; nevertheless make yourself to hear to the end and then try to think over the issues he points to. If you are not change, that's fine, but if you want you may give it more thoughts. Do not prejudge.

@batman93oo 2. You are young; you may dream; that's OK. Gradually, you'll understand the individualism is just a propaganda trap set by the bourgeoisie for you to believe in your right to choose. This is how you are turned into servant to the bourgeoisie that propagates its lies.
If you do not know and cannot see the government (legislative, executive, judicial) is not enemy to the capitalists; it serves them devotedly; Look for "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission"

@batman93oo 1. Re: ... I follow individualism...
This is a utopia intelligentsia dreams about. I am part of the intelligentsia but I do not have illusions being individualist no meter how much I want it because in addition I am a realist. Society imposes its moral standards to us from the first day of our lives. We need society (family, community, country); so, to survive we conform. Everything else is just an utopia.

@DrNikol2007 last reply: I don't want to teach anyone and I'm not trying to impose anything on you that is why I follow individualism because I don't believe anyone should impose anything without giving the other person the fair shot to study it themselves. The point is I know certain large firms like the protection of gov't and thats why we shouldn't let gov intervene so it isn't a tool. I pointed out long before that intervention consisted of subsides and incentives, read with your eyes

@batman93oo 2/ Marx was disappointed like many progressive students at that time from the fact that capitalism did fail to bring the dreams of people from the times of the French Revolution. You do not need to read Grundrisse to understand this; you need a little bit knowledge of the history of that times.
Io not see what else I can tell you. I do not consider this place as place to teach anyone. I think it was good we could exchange opinions.
Thanks for you time.

@batman93oo The same capitalist do not wont your pure capitalism, you moron. They wont to be protected by the government from external competition, reaction from the unions, social movements etc. There was never pure C neither they wanted it. Capitalist own the government that serve them well; they complain to make a theater and ask for more privileges. Historically capitalists always had some kind of exemptions or special status, subsidies from the governments etc. Open your eyes.

@batman93oo 2/ I do not need logic to understand what I have seen with my own eyes in 1970-80s and do not need to compare what Marx wrote 1850. I did not arguing with you on any issue but referring to well known fasts which you happened not to now - it is not you fault.

@batman93oo 1/ I do not understand why religious people hate Marx so much. Marx was way milder than Lenin was towards religion. I myself think of you as arrogant, hypocritical, coercive menace and very dangerous for the rest of society. You believe you are entitled to teach people how to live their lives and how to think. With your righteous fanaticism you are the worst pat of the society ready to impose their freaky life style to all of humanity. Only communists can stop you.

@DrNikol2007 (2) coming from the man who argues with zero logic and just says things as liberal bs. You had no premise besides "whatever you heard was propaganda." Just seriously go read the Grundrisse again or something and deal with the fact that the system you support failed and that Marx was a disturbed radical who couldn't stand bourgeois activities like finish college.

@DrNikol2007 You know what I still ended up checking link and guess what have already seen your videos. And you know what the fact is you can't refute anything I say because Pure Capitalism, Free markets, is the idea of zero regulation of capital and zero intervention there is a major difference to our keynesian style economics and one where people interact according to natural rates in the market. Your implication that we hold the same morals as children to when our mind is developed is flawed
Every interviewee in this film is an extreme right-winger. David Horowitz? The Ludwig von Mises Professor of Economics at Hillsdale College?
It's a film about Marx, but there are no Marxists interviewed in the film, & everyone appears so measured & rational. Nice propaganda vehicle.
If you made a film about biology without interviewing any biologists, would the film represent its subject effectively?
And why no mention of Ronald Reagan's funding of Central American death squads?

Marxism is a wide spectrum complete philosophy of life, society, politics, economy, art, morals, nature, science, history, culture, classes, political parties, professional unions, etc. The narrator, who probably has no clue and David Horowitz neither. For him to say, Marxists believe if the private property is eliminated, the paradise society comes is like to say, if we remove the horse, the buggy becomes a car. Is it not funny?. No good and evil in Marxist philosophy.
