Like Hitler’s Mein Kampf, readers are presented with a pure, undiluted vision of the author’s ideology (dark as it may be).
You know who else published their thoughts? Hitler!!!
Marx breathed! You know who else breathed? THE NAZIS!
That might be one of the dumbest quotes I've seen in my entire life.
Nearly all of these are instances of Marx saying capital makes the thing impossible or that communists want a different version of it. The writer of this article either can't read or he's deliberately misrepresenting Marx in the worst way possible, because the quotes he gives directly contradict what he's saying.
Like here, he says Marx wants to abolish individuality: “In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality,” he wrote. “And the abolition of this state of things is called by the bourgeois, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The abolition of bourgeois individuality, bourgeois independence, and bourgeois freedom is undoubtedly aimed at.”
Marx is clearly saying that capitalism already destroyed individuality and that destroying that condition is falsely called "abolition of individuality" by the bourgeoisie. This is the most :wonder-who-thats-for: thing I've ever read
Yeah, was about to comment on that. You have to be trying to misread it that badly.
I think he's just lazy and just pulled up the Manifesto on marxists.org and did some CTRL+F
twenty-second page of the communist manifesto “I want to abolish pussy”
Max Blumenthal from the grayzone playing oogly googly toast by himself in a corner with a loaf of bread.
This is wildly misinterpreting the text. When Marx said he wanted to "abolish pussy," he was talking about cats, specifically, outdoor cats.
"Abolish pussy" is a mistranslation. In the original German it's clear he's simply pro-bussy.
Yes. Okay. Good.
:gigachad:
Does Cuba's new family law count as progress towards abolishing the family? It seems like a pretty radical step in dismantling the bourgeois nuclear family.
Again, abolition of the bourgeois family structure is just state funded childcare and feminism.
The mythological nuclear family is disappearing under capitalism anyways, the socialist solution is just to create alternative social structures that democratically share the burden of child rearing and domestic labor across society instead of demanding children work and women perform both domestic and labor duties.
I would also add that it also includes children no longer being viewed as the personal property of their parents until age 18.

We do keep going back to key historical events and giving people Gundams.
this is proof i've dramatically evolved ideologically since 2016, because then i would have agreed with this, whereas now i struggle to see what the problem is
That's it. It should be an important goal of the left to remind lolberts and fash that they have ideologies too. For too long, the right has been considered the lack of ideology. Now it results in bullshit like this being treated as a given.
marx is both the Borg and the cauchy horizon inside a rotating Kerr black hole
Was this meant to sound scary? Because every one of those things sucks and abolishing them would be incredibly based.
