Fake news? Has communism just never failed or have the previous nations that had adopted communism never REALLY adopted true communism?

>US imports food
Imports luxury surplus of a surplus food, not necessities, the USA is one of like 5 countries that can feed itself (and we can feed ourselves 2x over), 2 others off the top of my head being Vietnam and Netherlands
still is and always will be a great post regardless

Can doesn't mean should. It's a hell of a lot cheaper to import most of it.
And you can bet your ass that it would need to import food if communism takes hold.
Fucking terrorist commies.

honestly, that's just a poor attempt at smearing Karl Marx
he was one of the most thorough analysts of his time

He might have been good at analyzing the problem but his proposed cure was shit
>>131610112
Do you Leafs not understand sarcasm?

but what is certain is that he is work is very considerable and worth studying

It's really more statistical and historical at this point.
>>131628257
not really because you can debate whether the USSR in actuality was an implementation of Marx' principles.
But that's neither here nor there in regards to the argument I'm making: people try to suggest that Marx can be dismissed because he never ran a company are just idiots. There's a lot of valuable and enlightening information in his work.
>>131628595
>you can debate whether the USSR in actuality was an implementation of Marx' principles
Oh, I'm not saying that the USSR was Marxist. In fact, there has never actually been a successfully implemented Marxist nation. That's not to say it's never been tried, it's just never gotten off the ground.
I will agree that he shouldn't be dismissed just because he didn't work much. He can definitely be dismissed, it just shouldn't be for that reason.

the only thing that comes close to an actual implementation, I think, is the short-lived left libertarian system that existed in Catalonia during the Spanish civil war, which was wiped out by the combined force of Franco's falangists and the spanish communists.
But his philosophical views are really just the beginning. He and Friedrich Engels were very serious journalists who wrote very prolifically about events around the world, like the "Indian mutiny" or various environmental crises. So you can, for the sake of argument, dismiss his entire philosophy out of hand and you still end up with a very considerable, historical figure.

Yeah, and how often are people accurate about assessments in their own time?
Socrates was executed due to the assessment of people in his time.
Rolling Stone panned Led Zeppelin's debut album and Abbey Road in their time.
Every year game reviewers do a top 100 of all time list and the numbers 1-5 are games that came out THAT year (except for number 2 which is always either Tetris or Super Mario Bros.)
The fact is, people making judgements in their time are usually wrong. It takes critical thought and distance to make an accurate assessment.
And the people of Marx's time were fucking wrong.
>>131607107
this
>>131629451
and this
>>131628595
There will never be a """real""" implementation of Marx's principles. If you honestly think people are gonna get closer than the Soviet Union you're a fucking idiot.
>Soviet Union is now capitalist
>China is capitalist
>Vietnam is capitalist
>Cambodia is capitalist
None of those countries could make it work. What is different about YOUR revolution?

Boris has a hard on for those pudding pops. He should have rung up Bill Cosby while he was in the USA.

The state of the modern kraut is truly shameful. Its why I never could accept Nazism. A racial doctrine based around Germans is goofy shit
>>131607107
>>131629552
if we lived in the middle ages, people like you could point how every state is feudal monarchy and every attempt so far of throwing off serfdom (the German peasants war for example) has ended in bloodshed.
Does that justify serfdom?
>>131629901
All I'm suggesting is that we do with Karl Marx the same thing we do with every other historical figure: try to learn what's valuable and ignore the things that are wrong.
That seems to me to be the exact opposite of shameful.

Soviet Russia basically engineered a famine in Ukraine, killing about 10 Million people.
The famine was so severe that it wasn't uncommon to hear of people cannibalizing dead bodies, plundering graveyards, or sometimes outright killing each other.
This isn't the only instance of communism begetting famine and cannibalism either, as fucked as that is.
Of course, Russia dindu nuffin, it was the wicked Kulaks (slightly wealthier than average farmers), and Ukraine actually deserved it, etc etc
It is a fundamentally very evil and twisted ideology.

Oh yeah, it was only the weather, it had nothing to do with Russians actively confiscating what grain was being produced, or preventing efforts to grow more grain.
One of the biggest producers of grains on the continent was just fucked very hard by weather alone, really makes me fucking think.
>>131635715
>fucked very hard by weather alone
If you read the text on the picture you will see that Stalin also ate all the grain.
>preventing efforts to grow more grain
Why would you prevent it when you can just take it again, makes no sense.
>>131636256
>Why would you prevent it
Because they very clearly were committing a genocide.
>>131636510
>clearly were committing a genocide
But that makes no sense, why would you commit a genocide over the people you were keen on actively exploiting. They weren't a threat to the Soviet Union so why destroy the cheap (free) work force.
And don't give me that crap about "muh ebil gommunists", no one is stupid or evil enough to destroy their own labor.
>>131637267
>no one is stupid or evil enough to destroy their own labor
Except, you know, communists murdering loads of people for being not faithful to the revolution or whatever other excuse they used that day.
>>131637739
You are avoiding my question about killing the work force that was suposed to feed the Soviet Union, it still makes no sense. Insted you use empty paroles to hide your lack of arguments. This conversation is now over.
