capitalism was international before it was national, the earliest examples are the silk road and Indian ocean trade.

and i forgot to mention that Poland and Athens along with Rome were the first remotely democratic nations

>>56222
That's not an institutionalized aspect of the state apparatus, so while that's the free market, I wouldn't call it capitalism.

>>56291
economic systems are international and countries can adopt them into their structure so yea i would call it capitalism

>>56098
Conjuncturally, something between Keynesian policy and the effort for worldwide political stability through international diplomacy. Structurally, let the chips fall where they fall. When the means of production become obsolete for the current societies, they will break apart. Until now, capitalism has shown that it is a very flexible model for most of its crisis.

When I was in jr high we were reading about Marx's predictions. Namely Russia would never go commie, and America would be the first. In 7th grade I postulated pretty much Hart's thesis on why America would never go commie.

is it true that Karl Marx himself was never actually a member of the working class? he was born to wealthy parents and lived off an inheritence his entire life, so i'm not sure how he was qualified to talk about the plight of the working class

>>57262
Commie shill please go

Historical materialism is absolute trash that takes no account of subjective experience, cultural and intellectual development, national circumstances, military strategy, or anything else. It is among the worst historiographical perspectives ever and Marx was wrong on all fronts. Nothing he said would occur has occurred.

He also gets bonus points for being related to and funded by Rothschild bankers (and funded by other assorted industrialists as well). 0/10, would not theorize with.

>>57336
>qualified

by whom?

>>55975
This is how I feel.

Descriptive Marx (talking about how capitalism works, history of struggles etc.) was always right.

Prescriptive Marx (talking about how future socialism would work, classless society etc.) was always wrong.

Basically, don't try to predict the future. He was a genius though.

Did Marx inadvertently save capitalism?

>Capitalism is horrible to the workers, if they're unemployed they starve, their wages are poor, their hours long and their conditions dangerous.
>Marxist groups spring up to fight this and get to communism.
>Those in power in most countries make small yields (Bismarck's welfare provisions, or similar changes in the UK.) while maintaining a largely capitalist economy. From there the welfare state slowly builds up into modern social democracies.
>Meanwhile Russia refuses to make sufficient changes (and couldn't really because it was so far behind) and goes red. Everyone calls it communist even though it's socialist (but trying to reach communism)
>Later, China also revolts.
>By the ~50s, but with the difference in quality of life growing all the time, it's plain to see that living standards in a social-democracy are higher than those of a communist society.

A lot of the parties that pushed for social democracy have Marxist roots as well, like the British Labour party. [Who still insist they're socialists, kek.]

>>57336
>he was born to wealthy parents and lived off an inheritence his entire life, so i'm not sure how he was qualified to talk about the plight of the working class
The idea that one must be of a certain group to see that groups plight is ludicrous. (But very popular.), at the time Marx was alive it was reasonably common for the rich to start looking into the plight of the poor instead of assuming they were all poor through their own personal failure.

Even now, poor people who've made it into positions of power aren't the best to talk about poverty. They often ascribe some of their own luck to hard work and so make the very assumption that other poor people are lazy.

"When the axe came into the woods, many of the trees said, "At least the handle is one of us'"

Funny how the only thing Karl Marx ever excelled at was spending other people's money

>>60766

>the_list.jpg

90% of those works are ridiculously outdated and near-useless for analyzing modern political economy.

He did a lot to advance the historical field in itself. Reading about kings and military commanders misses the big picture, which in many ways we have Marx to thank for having today.

However I do think I mix of the two is appropriate and more entertaining.

>>55761
Would Marx have recognized Europes immigration crisis as the importation of the lumpenproletariat?

>Coming from the subjective perspective of the Marxists themselves.

The way I used objective was to say it was a site not run by politically imitative, it's basically a archive of marxist economics.

>This is wrong. Only a minority of the writers within marxists.org are economists.
Explain further, I'd like to know what you mean.

>just open up your mind man
Dude, I'm a supporter of proudhon.
I'm not exactly saying this from subjectivity either.

>"The West" isn't the only anti-Communist force.

Okay.

I'll admit, I was wrong that it was just marxist theory, but what I''m trying to say is that (Using the actual etymology of the word) is that the archive is filled with different subjects of varying leftist ideals with some exceptions (Because apparently, this is crucial in a description since saying it in ANY OTHER WAY is apparently wrong in the case of highly functional autism) which makes a good source for matieral, because it isn't shadowed by a political motive and only storage of literature.

Take a look at /v/ or /k/ and a lot of the more popular boards, and the majority of the low population boards.

For High Population.
They're over saturated with user moderation with odd exceptions in rules, which literal porn threads can stay up for a period long enough to have a nap, and unrelated topics and /b/ tier content is posted throughout, with a lot of new people and new fads coming in completely fading away the site's culture almost making it on pararell with tumblr and reddit, as examples.

For Low Population
Literal forum-like moderation, seems much more dedicated in purging, dissent is remove and a lot of the political statements are throughout socially progressive, mostly undereducated as well, large circle jerking and tripfagging isn't even shunned anymore.

Its become the complete antithesis of what this site originally stood for.
Legitimately, there is little to no difference as of now between forums and 4chan and I'll bet it'll get worse in the future.

Yes, this will be ironic, but let's stop making posts that just bemoan the influence of this or that board. If somebody's trying to shit up a thread, it's better to ignore them or refute them than to shit up the thread even more with whines.

Also, I'm no Marxist, but I think a philosophy and history board is pretty obviously where a thread about Karl Marx goes. He was a philosopher, and his ideas had a huge influence on the course of history. He's also, whether you like it or not, an integral part of the humanities in its current form.

Through history economic transitions have been based on social emancipation and increasing economic representation. The lower class will overtake the upper class.

Marx theorized that this system would mean the collective ownership of the means of production. This merely means the people who work get the benefits. It's not that difficult

The Marxist method is really good, besides his economics, imo. You can hate Marx how much you want, but you can't deny that his method have a strong core that it is difficult to refute.

That would be great if the shop owner was making as much as his workers, but no factory worker is a millionaire.

>>67383

Its true though. Take a business class, they'll make it clear - you make a very low profit margin on each product. The idea is to sell so much product you end up raking in millions.

(Also, the comic - both the original and the edited - ignore the difference in ownership, which usually has tons of wealth, and management, which is usually wealthy but not shareholder level wealthy)

Source: history hasn't proven him right.
No revolution was successful at implementing even the most basic form of socialism
Workers in the 21st century know about value added, but understand that it isn't exploitation: it is a compensation for the risk of investing and a motivation to produce.
Command economies have been proven to be more innefecient than those based on markets
People living in socialist societies didn't change their profit-minded culture, a necessary step for the achievement of true communism
There is probably a lot more.

I think what's so disgusting about Marxism is how it rejects the realities of life. No wonder every single prediction failed. No wonder every communist society failed. Nothing about these failures are ever surprising. I don't just hate Marxism, I reject the axioms its built upon.

This anon is correct.

Marxism is a revenge fantasy whereby the communist imagines himself the victim of a plot created by wealthy people to keep him down, just as Nazism is a revenge fantasy whereby the Nazi imagines himself the victim of a plot created by Jews to keep him down. Both have the end results, with Nazis measuring your skull and Marxists measuring the proletarian content of your soul to decide if they're going to allow you to exist in their utopia or not.

Ultimately, Marx is a retard for being a utopian theorist, because utopias are, by their very definition, impossible, because humans will always be imperfect beings. But keep on believing human beings are like clay you can mold to your will, you lovable fascists, because it's right when you do it!

what kind of retarded logic is this?

Can a dogmatic/heterodox marxist answer me something:

How is a socialist nation supposed to control the flow of production and efficiently respond to the needs of the population?
What even are supposed to be the individual needs of the population and how can wealth be effectively shared?
How can the means of production even be used outside of the capitalist system that created them in the first place?

>I'm not bourgeois if I say I'm not

You are, speaking globally, among the richest of the rich. You are in the top 5% of income for the entire world. So yes, anon, in that sense you're right. You're not of the bourgeoisie. Now go and give everyone your money you filthy benefactor of capitalist privilege.

>>68527
>he who spends the most wins

It's never a guarantee. Jeb has spent the most out of the Republicans and his campaign's shit. Hillary has the most out of all the candidates, but Sanders has more grassroots support and Hillary's scandals are blowing up. Money is not the deciding factor in an election, the candidates and their ideas play a very, very big role. You can strut around like a 10th grader who thinks they know how the world works and that everyone else is less enlightened than you, but your "wake up sheeple" attitude doesn't make you right.

>>68573
Go on, fuck off to a commune and live without capitalism. You can do it, anon. But I've chosen to live in a country that's benefiting from a market system, don't take that away from me by destroying it.

>>68455
you ought to read him. in all but a few very brief hypotheses on the distant future, his work is incredibly dry economic treatise. those hypotheses are not essential to his work because he eventually rejected his earlier belief in the inexorable arrival of communism. communism is merely a potential system and one which he believes would be optimal. he predicted the collapse of capitalism, yes, but what he could not see was that government intervention would aid in prolonging its lifespan: see the recent bailouts. this is in stark contrast to the utopian socialists that marx distanced himself from, who believed they could create a perfect system or believed in its inevitable arrival. it's fairly ironic to post an image of an american founding father when decrying marx's "utopianism", given that the majority of american founding fathers believed themselves to be acting in accordance with divine providence.

>>68479
>Just that you stay on your fucking containment board.

You are right now
"you have a containment board cause your opinions are wrong and you should not talk to me so i don't have to listen to stuff i don't like"

>>68455
So that would make you a right-libertarian? I'm sorry to tell you that your ideology is even more utopian than communism. Capitalism is rarely if ever voluntary and greed wins out if left unchecked. I'm not a communist btw, but you people are getting annoying.

>>68625
Project Cybersyn, anon.

>Project Cybersyn was a Chilean project from 1971–1973 during the presidency of Salvador Allende aimed at constructing a distributed decision support system to aid in the management of the national economy. The project consisted of four modules: an economic simulator, custom software to check factory performance, an operations room, and a national network of telex machines that were linked to one mainframe computer.
>The system was most useful in October 1972, when about 50,000[citation needed] striking truck drivers blocked the access streets that converged towards Santiago. According to Gustavo Silva (executive secretary of energy in CORFO), using the system's telex machines, the government was able to guarantee the transport of food into the city with only about 200 trucks driven by strike-breakers, recouping the shortages caused by 40,000 striking truck drivers.
>After the military coup on September 11, 1973, Cybersyn was abandoned and the operations room was destroyed.

Instead you get explored by the state and its all encompassing computer network!

Can you actually prove him wrong? Marxists never deal with this, but several political scientists have established that rule by an elite is inevitable within any society as part of the tactical and technical necessities of organization.

See the work of Gaetano Mosca, Vilfredo Pareto, Robert Michels, James Burnham etc. Do Marxists have an answer for that other than "if I ignore it it will go away"?

The Allende government’s budget deficit was 15%, 25%, and 30% of GDP in the years 1971-73. That's an economic collapse in a unprecented scale. Greece at its worst in 2009 hit 15% of GDP. If the United States had budget deficits equal to 30% of GDP, that would amount to $5 trillion — more than three times the actual US budget deficit at its nominal peak in 2009.

That can't be blamed on the US either, it was pure and sheer incompetence.

Libertarianism is not utopian, because it doesn't promise that life will be perfect, just better. It even says that some people will lose out (as when an unfaily regulated business is deregulated, its owners and workers will lose out), but it doesn't promise that once Big Guv is gone then life is sunshine and rainbows.
