 You know, it's very interesting because I've recently been deeply diving into anarcho-communism, which really should just be called communism, because that was ideally the end of the stage. But it's very interesting how there's this underlying belief that it's simply more productive to have collective ownership. And it's like, well, okay, you can keep asserting it, but the facts don't represent it. And Marx recognizes this in the Communist Manifesto. I am. He calls the expansion of the bourgeoisie. He remarks something like, who knew such productive forces slumbered in the lap of social labor? It's like, it's not social labor, it's private labor. You liar. And you see, Marx is a materialist, so all he sees is labor, labor in a sense of physical activity. What he shouldn't really be saying is who knew that such, you know, there's lumbered in the minds of men, because real production comes out of the human mind. It doesn't come from muscle, and that's something Marxists have no appreciation for. And while we are somewhat, you know, you could argue that we are somewhat equal in our ability to pull levers and to do physical labor, we are clearly not equal when it comes to mental activity. Steve Jobs is far smarter than I am, particularly when it comes to devising new gadgets. And so the inequality that happens is a complete result of the fact that just our ability to imagine, our ability to create, our ability to think through problems is vastly different. And that's just an existential state. Now what Marx wants us is, in a sense, he wants to change human nature. And of course that's why they have to be genocidal, because they have to assume that there are certain people who can change. And they've experienced capitalism and they're post-capitalist, and now they're into this, you know, they've changed, and they've evolved into this Marxist utopia. And then there are some people who either haven't experienced capitalism yet, or just as angles would put it, right, they're just genetically incapable of being good socialists. And because it's an internationalist idea, it's not a state idea, you have to wipe them out, you have to get rid of them, because there's any combat on this wonderful socialist utopia. And it's why communism is genocidal. Well before, Nazism became genocidal, the socialists were already trying to exterminate certain races. That's not the only genocidal aspect too, like we were saying just before we set up. They want to genocide a class of people, and you don't choose your class, otherwise everyone would choose to become other class. Like race, class is something you were born into, you had no control over, and there's no reason why you should just be genocided on that basis. But it drives me crazy when people say, oh, at least the communists didn't want to wipe anyone out. Yes they do. And how did about 200, well I don't know exactly now, but somewhere between 100 and 200 million people get murdered just by accident. You know, it's clearly Stalin wanted to wipe out the Ukrainians, so he orchestrated a famine in Ukraine and let them starve, clearly mouths it to him, wanted to eradicate 16 million people, Chinese died of starvation, partially because the economic system inherently leads to starvation because they don't produce, it's the least productive system in human history, as the Chinese farms, communal farms would be a proof of, you know, I don't know, you know the story of how Chinese farming became privatized? It's a great story, so this is in the late 70s, Mao had died already, and this little village in the center of China, far away from anything, they were Stalin, and they weren't promising, and they were being attacked by the Central Committee because they weren't beating their quotas, and they said, look, we got to try something. So they did a town council in secret, they didn't invite the communist commissar, and they said, why don't we do this? This is your piece of land, and this piece of land will be Mao's piece of land. And anything you do there, you get the surplus you can keep. And we'll just try this experiment, and it's not really, you know, they weren't actually creating private property, they're creating a pseudo-private property because the state's the loan did all. And the next year, they were far exceeding the quotas. And what happened was that people in the Central Committee noticed this, and they said, what's going on there? They never used to be like this, so they sent people to investigate, and they were discovered. And there were people in the Communist Party who wanted to wipe them out, basically, to teach a lesson. And luckily, Deng Chape at the time was the PM, he basically said no. He said he was a complete patriot, now he was an evil guy, he was responsible for the general square, and he was responsible for a lot of deaths in the pre-cultural revolution. But by this point, he had wised up enough to what works and what doesn't. And he said, look, communal farming obviously doesn't work, this works. And I don't know why this works, because he didn't understand the theory. I don't know why this works, but this works. Get another three villages and let's try it over there. And they did. And they worked there too. And he said, okay, let's basically move to private farming. The land is still owned by the state, but let's do the pseudo-private property thing where you have private farm. And that's how it happened. So in China, you've got an example where pragmatists, like Deng Chape, who was a communist, believed in communism, but he was a pragmatist, saw that the Demoxist theory is unproductive, it is destructive.
