You bet.
Slam 'em Karl!!!
Christfags and Koranboyfags both fight for a lie.

>>725235981
I think religion provides a basis for morals in most people, however it is true that some people accept poverty and hardship because they think God wants them to.

>>725235981
If people use opium to escape a realistic truth that there may not be a god then yes.

>>725235981
Yes. All the republicucks voting against their own interests are religiious

It's worth considering that Marx was most likely at some point prescribe opium- it was being used in medical procedures. Did he mean religion was a terrible thing or just that it helped people tolerate things but might not be needed in the future?

>>725236865
people that need a religion to have moral are simply bad people.
As soon as you tell them its okay now they will do what the fuck ever to anyone.

Commies get fucked

How can you even disagree? Religion appears like an unhealthy addiction to anyone outside of it.

>>725237880
he made a statement without telling you if he likes or dislikes religion.
But like Einstein, he probably did not like it but tryed to come up with something neutral.

Who cares? Marx was a faggot and most people are unable to have a reasonable discussion on religion.

the difference between capitalism and communism? In capitalism, some people lose. In communism, everybody loses.

And in today's edition of "OP asks /b/ to do his homework..."

I agree religion is often used as a means of placating the masses to their circumstances yes
But it being called religion in this case is blind worship or societal reassurances, but fedora fags like to to think religion is some unique evil from this quote

>>725238574
Nah, fuck off faggot.

For god sakes people.. lol.. (see what I did there..) at one point in time used cocaine as a medicine until they found out it was fukin ppl up.. so yes.. god is only a cloth over our eyes used to blind us from the truth. I do believe there is a higher power. But I don't think it was some dude who became god after humans were already on earth..

>>725239003
I do recall Adam Smith relying on his friends to publish his works
Wealth of Nations is far better than any of his works by the way

The funny thing is, people treat communism like a religion. People need something to believe in.

??? for what exactly? curious.

>>725239596
I've never seen a single person treat communism as a religion, unless you're talking about the pseudo-communist states that have or currently exist.

>>725239690
I think it was for treating addiction or something.

>>725239736
communist states have provided all the same instruments of worship as organized religions do, and communists bring the same fervor as religious people do.

>>725239671
Haa.. just like religion dived nations..

Marx based his work on Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations". And, David Riccardo.

You have not seen communism yet. You have only seen the dictatorship of the masses, a necessary precedent to communism. Read a fucking book.

>>725241209
I have read a fucking book. In fact, reading several fucking books, studying history, and talking with many people who actually experienced something tells me there is no 'necessary precedent' to communism. It's a flawed theory that will never work in reality. There's a reason you haven't seen communism yet. It DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!

Karl MARX The biggest turd ever

>>725241423
> It's a flawed theory that will never work in reality.

That's Capitalism.

Comunism is the poors policy
Rich people prefer capitalism

>>725241749
No, capitalism is a theory that works, but is flawed.

>>725241618
^^^^^

>>725241859

You call $199 TRILLION of global debt "a flaw"?

If you call that "working" I hate to see what you consider failure...

>>725238631
its okay i didn't understand economics when i was your age either

Marx would have done just as well to say 'the destiny of humans is to someday shit rainbows.' Some people will try to do it really hard, but the only result is shit.

>>725235981
He was a Jew. He only pretended to be an athiest to destroy other non Jewish religions.

Hitler was right!

Hitler/Marx 2020

>>725237973
Think about this carefully anon.

>>725242104

No.

Marx said Capitalists will shit Socialists and Socialists will shit Communists.

He provides a good analysis of Capitalism, building on the works of Adam Smith and David Riccardo. His projections are overly deterministic (but entirely valid).

Marx never analysed the strengh of Cultural Capitalism in preserving the Capitalist order.

The fact the average worker thinks they can be Capitalists too, if the just work harder, shows how strong Cultural Capitalis is.

>>725242018
I take your criticism with a grain of salt, given you see 'necessary precedent' in numerous regimes that resulted in the deaths of over 100 million people--and, instead of proceeding to 'real' communism, those societies have reverted back to market economies. If capitalism totally goes under, guaranteed it will not be succeeded by communism. It was tried, failed, and rejected. Only morons who have no sense of history or understanding of human nature embrace it.

While you two are going back n forth over taxes and debt of America the rich 1% (worldwide) are plotting on new ways to keep humans mentally enslaved.

>>725241164
The reason we are suited to life on earth is because genetic mutation allows for change in organisms gentetics, and the organisms that weren't fit to survive in earth's conditions died before passing on their dna to their offpring. Basically.

>>725241423
>There's a reason you haven't seen communism yet. It DOESN'T FUCKING WORK!
Ignoring the point made that there hasn't been a communist state yet, and yes, according to experts on the topic, there are prerequisites to a communistic revolution.

When you reach the end of the road of what atheism teaches, faith can become one of the only things that keeps you going.

>>725242343
>in numerous regimes that resulted in the deaths of over 100 million people-

Yes, Capitalist Imperialism has the blood of millions on its hands...

> those societies have reverted back to market economies

State Capitalist countries like the Soviet Union always had an element of market economics at its core.

> It was tried, failed,

Production and distribution are technical issues. Technology has developed to allow the realtime monitoring of all aspects of production.

Command economics, and on demand production, are entirely workable.

Marx was right that we need Capitalism to provide the impetus to develop the infrastructure to make Socialism, and Communism possible.

Marx was a Capitalist, he believed Capitalism was vital for the development of Communism.

It's like drugs but it's slower and almost free. It helps some people and some can function with it but it's and ultimately a bad thing. A lie designed just like drugs to calm your brain from the existential horror we all experience.

>>725242813
true dat, brah. Marx often talked about how capitalism was necessary for building the means of production, for example, although, I wouldn't call him a capitalist exactly, just because he thought it was necessary for the rise of a communist state.

>>725243000
Dem trips.

I wish we could show Uncle Karl /b/.

>>725243220
I suspect he would really like the internet, as he would view it as a means of power available to the working class in equal proportion to the upper, and as a means of communication to organize a revolution, but then, who doesn't like the internet?

>>725243220

Karl was a /b/ro.

He was a NEET.

>>725243499
Fucking this.
Whenever he found something he wouldn't agree with he would go spastic and wouldn't stop till he wrote a book dissing on it.
Also he literally lived in Engel's basement.
