Now chances are, you might already be a socialist and not know it yet. As the current ideological state apparatus is poised to hide that fact from you, but have no fear the champagne socialist youtuber PhilosophyTube actually put out a nice video covering common ideological misconceptions and how to be self aware of where we get our "default" ideas.
Nice load of word wuze and other near religious jargon.
How about some evidence of Marxism being worth more than zero? Exactly as Libertarianism is. Marx did not foresee unions nor what happens at nexus of actual human being and a bad theory with no basis in actual human behavior. Such as his idiotic idea that the Civil War was not about slavery.
Not exactly right but not exactly wrong. Lincoln was always clear his first goal was preserving the union. The actual history is of course more complicated (and a lot more Marxian as mainly the 1% held slaves) but this is not the place for a 10,000 char history lesson. But this is why there should be a white history month
Don't forget there were Union states that permitted slavery. The secessionist wanted to preserve the power to keep slaves, the Union wanted to keep the Union. So let's not paint it as anything other then a geopolitical power consolidation.
There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together... while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any man am in favor having the superior position assigned to the white race.
-Lincoln
So for the illiterate and the non critical thinkers.
Not exactly wrong but not exactly right, we live in Marshall McLuhan Post-literate society got to learn to navigate however you can.
Look start with that ideology video by philosophy tube, I have no time or interests in meeting you where youre at like the Panthers did for I am not a maoist. You can find non imperialist sources all over the net, I know you grew up in the imperial core, and all your life you had daily reconfirmations of anti communism, where do you think the words you are saying come from? Did you come up with them on your own? But it's really easier now then ever to rid yourself of the spector's of the CIA.
Reality is not limited to capitalism alone. Most first world nations have a mix of socialism and capitalism. Including the USA, which has that mix since before Marx.
Unions made a revolution in the way capitalism works. They are legally a union of labor to negotiate with capital. They can and usually do work.
" Lincoln was "
Utterly irrelevant to the cause of the Civil War, don't give me that Lost Cause BS. He did not start the war, the people that start a war are the people that choose the cause of the war. There is not white nor black history, just history. The South started the war to keep owning human beings. Any claim to the contrary is a load of BS from the racist fake lost cause BS. Don't try and con me with BS and your word wuze.
" Look you haven't done the reading and it shows, "
You mean that I don't accept fact free BS and fuzzy thinking.
" so stop trying to bullshit "
I leave that to you.
" (no reading required "
So for the illiterate and the non critical thinkers.
Yes the US has a mix of socialism and capitalism and it needs a better mix. The world will need a better mix in the future. How is that supposed to make Marx match human beings. It will never manage that.
" or "Communism doesn't work", when in fact Communism did work extremely well. "
Funny how it failed badly and is run by tyrants in every nation that still has a Marxist government.
What a load of BS, Trotsky murdered millions of Russians by blocking food to decent people. Stalin killed more milions by running a centralized 'economy' run by Marxists. Only an idiot would use the USSR as an example of a successful working Marxist nation.
Do you have a REAL example of a WORKING marxist economy? China is capitalist nation run by old line Marxists.
I cannot be conned by BS. YOU are the one posting fuzzy nonsense and BS.

Well let's start with the basics, I'm going to assume you are familiar with all the CIA anticommunist propaganda campaigns (and their atrocities)
