Is there any criticism of Marx that doesn't amount to hysterical slander and outrage by right-wing ideologues no less ideological than Marx himself?
Any and all attacks I've ever read border on nonsense by make statements far too bold (I.E. I believe Marx is wrong about one detail, ergo EVERYTHING HE DID WAS FALSE), or are so utterly ignorant of his stances that they don't even bear consideration.
Is there any systematic, coherent and calm criticism of Marx by people without an ideological slant?

Why so popular, /his/? How do so many people not realize the value of a moderately powerful state to regulate private economic interests?

Benito Juarez was an asshole! A native mexican full of hatred and resentment towards white people.
Nowadays everyone gives him hero status but he was just a very angry little man.

The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. 50 years ago the Chinese youth went absolutely insane. But what was it all about, in the end?
Was it just a way for Mao to purge his political enemies inside the Communist Party. Was it actually a popular movement that got out of control.
How does the people of China see the whole thing? I'd guess that, no matter how much the government condemns it, most people probably miss their days of carefree roaming around the countryside doing revolution, subjecting teachers and other figures of authority to "struggle sessions", joining Red Guard groups with your friends.
It seemed to be a great time to be alive. It's basically what everyone in the whole countercultural movement across the Western world wanted during the 1960s, but only the Chinese got it.

Bullshit, the culture was fine. The fact that they willingly killed it is disgraceful. At least the women are cute, most of the time, on the occasion.

Can /his/ give some more examples of broad historical geopolitical goals for individual nations?
For example:
>Britain
Preventing any single power from dominating the European continent, keeping the seas open for trade and commerce, and controlling key naval chokepoints (Gibraltar, Singapore, Suez, etc)
>Russia
Establishing buffer client states or directly ruled border provinces that protect Russia from land invasion, securing a warm water port, and dominating Central Asia
>Germans
Roping together the various central European states under a single leader/flag
>United States
Pushing out European colonial governments in the Americas and replacing hem with compliant puppet states, realising Manifest Destiny
Any major ones I'm missing or ones I've got wrong?

>Aztec Empire
Allowing enemy states to live and trade, but under the condition of having constant ceremonial wars were the Aztec as always the winner, in order to keep its "trade partners" always weak in military numbers without having to actually invade or waste more resources than needed, and sacrificing countless numbers of war prisoners passing it as a religious affair, but in reality being a way of showing off its power to the neighborhood

Has there ever been a Christian secret (or discrete) society dedicated to fight the many revolutionary movements and ideologies that have sprung up since the French Revolution in the East or West?
It seems like every Christian religious society is dedicated to entryism of Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexual etc. elements INTO the Church as opposed to the Church trying to influence society...

There was the occasional political party in places like Germany and Italy however for the most part it has been unnecessary as for the past 1600 years they have been the establishment and hence not forced into secrecy.
In modern times though there has be a decently successful push by evangelicals to gain control of the lower tiers of the Republican party but thats about it.
>It seems like every Christian religious society is dedicated to entryism of Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexual etc. elements INTO the Church.
Im guessing you are a Catholic here so in general its not entryism at all but creating bodies controlled by the church to contain those people who might be lured by other groups.
>Church trying to influence society...
They have gotten so addicted to Cesare doing the dirty work that they have lost the ability and will to do this and now that the State is no longer willing to play ball they are in a rough position.

So true.
>>
>>1116961
There's been plenty of Christian societies trying to make global changes. The Catholic church has had a ton of different bodies, and it itself was a society.
The fact is you don't need to make your society secret if you are on the defense. If you wanted to defend what people perceive as normal why would you go out of your way to make your society harder to find? You'd just lose power that way.
A society only needs to be secret if it is doing something the ruling powers would not approve of. The point of the secret is that they can't stop you if they can't find you or figure out what you are doing.
>Judeo-Masonic, Marxist, homosexua
You mean like what the Catholic has become LOL

Hey /his/
I was wondering if there is any stories surrounding famous bodyguards of royalty in medieval europe? Ive always been interested in people who protect royalty rather than royalty themselves.
Id appreciate any info you can give, thanks in advance.
