    That sure is a lot of stuff to read and i bet its dry lecture.

    It isn’t, haha. Pretty easy to read!

    To be honest, i won’t start looking into them, so thus far you have me. Maybe it’s ignorant but Lenin, for me, goes in the same pot as Stalin and Mao and the baddest of them all from Austria.

    Bold claims for someone who refuses to even look at the text, let alone read it. Additionally, equating the Communists to the Nazis is in fact Nazi Apologia.

    I don’t know if there are good ideas in their writings/ methods/ ideologies…what i know is that these are people who abused their power. They ordered people killed or at least restrained who wouldn’t comply to them…so i don’t know if their works and deeds are a thing to build upon.

    Do you know that? You evidently don’t read, so where do your ideas come from? Imagination?

    I not very educated on the matter but i’d think that “Post-growth” in capitalism maybe is a solution or at least a way to a solution?

    What on Earth is “post-growth Capitalism?” Where did you pull that from, and why do you already think it capable of being a solution?

    Capitalism sucks, yeah. They steal from you, yeah. Thing is that this happens in every system as long as humans are involved. So maybe we as a hole have to go through somekind of capitalistic-cataclysm, which i don’t want for me or my kids, but has to happen none the less to come up with something neither Marx & Co. or capitalists envisioned as of yet.

    How, exactly, are people “stolen from” in Socialism? You don’t know what you’re talking about, but you sure do have strong opinions about it.

      Well I compare the extreme left with the extreme right since it is basically the same imho. Different reasoning for the mindset of “what’s not with us is against us”.

      Communists committed the same crimes as the Nazis so of into the same cell and the key is best disposed of.

      And the other big problem with pure socialism:

      Why hasn’t it worked yet? No Utopia as of yet, only repression, human rights violation and death.

      It’s as if the human factor is the point where there is change needed, not the system itself.

        No offense, but this is a childish view of politics. The extreme left is categorized by trying to care for the entire population, the extreme right is categorized by intense nationalism, xenphobia, and brutal class stratification.

        Communists committed the same crimes as the Nazis so of into the same cell and the key is best disposed of.

        No, they did not. Read Blackshirts and Reds. The Communists and the Nazis represented entirely different groups, and the Communists dramatically improved the lives of their citizenry while the Nazis brutally crushed them.

        And the other big problem with pure socialism:

        Why hasn’t it worked yet? No Utopia as of yet, only repression, human rights violation and death.

        It has worked and continues to work. Read more than US state propaganda. Utopianism is anti-Marxist, Marxists advocate for Scientific Socialism.

        It’s as if the human factor is the point where there is change needed, not the system itself.

        This is Idealism. What’s considered Human Nature is expressed and reinforced by the system itself, the Mode of Production.

        Read a book sometime.
