Yes. Marxism is a false religion used to control its cult members with promises of unicorns and streams of slim fast chocolate.
Stop projecting your own fascist buffoonery onto Marxism you utter clown. There is literally a name for capitalists promising unicorns and streams of slim fast chocolate. It's called The American Dream.
Oh bronto. Don't mock my utopian fairytale. One day the world will be human robots in a world where carrots walk to your hut and cook themselves you see. Oh. And the unicorns. Oh damn. We got Mao instead. Oh well. At least us slaves are equal...
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. Born in Trier, Germany, to a Jewish middle-class family, Marx studied law and philosophy at university.
Yes. Marxism is a false religion used to control its cult members with promises of unicorns and streams of slim fast chocolate.
Shut your ugly retarded mouth you alt-right bag of semen flavored ginger snaps. It really mis-aligns my underpants when you say such things. As a believer in a number of literal false religions, you have no bees wax calling a valid socio-economic theory one. You believe in a magic sky spirit that will whisk your soul away to paradise after you die, and you want to talk about unicorns and slim fast chocolate? Nobody with half a nerve fibre in their dick hole takes you seriously. Just a couple hundred years ago if you told someone about men landing on the moon or computers they would have called you a unicorn molesting utopian fairy. You are just a modern version of that who can't see that things can potentially be much better in terms of an economic system, as long as people like you don't ruin it. I'm going to go on a hiking trip with you so we can talk about how much of a fossilized brontosaurus cock you are. Pack your bags.
He probably calls Marxism a religion because, after multiple trials and failures, compared to the successes of alternatives, one can only accept Marxism on faith alone.
Your view of the capitalist outlook is narrow and based solely on your own bias. We don’t believe that things cannot get much much better. We believe that things will get much much better in the same way they have gotten to such heights as we currently enjoy. That is to say expansion of economic freedom has accomplished miraculous improvements, and it isn’t done improving people’s lot, and the lot of humanity. But that can only happen if we keep Marxism from dragging everyone back to the 19th century, as it does wherever it takes root.
Fortunately for all of us, your ignorant economics are thoroughly known to be toxic. So next time Marxism rears it’s ugly head, far more people will be there to resist it. And it will fail sooner, and she’s less blood, than it otherwise inevitably would.
But keep calling people such things as “bag of semen flavored ginger snaps“, so that it is apparent at the outset exactly how seriously you should be taken.

There are 41 million hungry people in America you deranged dolt. The reason you call that a success is because you don't give a shit about anybody except yourself.
Your view of the capitalist outlook is narrow
You are absolutely hilarious. You completely ignore all socialist successes like universal healthcare and education programs, falsely imply military dictatorships run by the likes of Mao and Stalin were genuine Marxist states, ignore the vast number of failed capitalist regimes, ignore the effects of the Cold War, and then accuse your opposition of a "narrow view". Literally everything you say is the complete opposite of fact. Shut up and read a book you idiotic hasbara shill.
Ask children if they are hungry, and most will say yes. Ask parents if their children go hungry, and most will say no.
America’s poor has an obesity problem smart guy. That’s not from a survey of children, that’s hard medical data.
You completely ignore all socialist successes like universal healthcare
Free market healthcare rates are high to make up for suppressed prices in modern universal healthcare regimes. You’re welcome. If everyone adopts that model, innovation will slow to a soviet pace.
education programs
America has free K-12 education. It’s a massive success..,..
Mao and Stalin were genuine Marxist states
Truer than European socialism-light, though all ultimately rely on markets.
ignore the effects of the Cold War
Iron curtain style autarchies reproduce socialistic failure without Cold War variables. The mathematics of economics explain why.
read a book
Books are the reason I am economically literate. Propaganda is the reason you’re not.
Ask children if they are hungry, and most will say yes.
Ask children if you are a pathological liar and most will say yes.
Ask parents if their children go hungry, and most will say no.
It is a matter of public record that there are 41 million hungry people in America, so your nauseating tactic of arbitrarily making up your own census polls when logic exposes you as a clown can go fuck itself.
America’s poor has an obesity problem smart guy.
Well I must be at least comparatively smart if you're telling me that hungry people are fat.
Free market healthcare rates are high to make up for suppressed prices in modern universal healthcare regimes.
What a crock of completely unsaturated bullshit. You literally just made that up. Prices for healthcare in America are high because prices for healthcare are cheap in Europe?? Wtf? America doesn't run its healthcare system based on what people in Europe decide to do. Shut up you deranged partisan shill. Your lies are absolutely spectacular. You literally just make shit up to fill the constant leaks that keep springing up in your heinous boat of bullshit.
America has free K-12 education. It’s a massive success..,..
So socialism is a success when it happens in a capitalist country and you can pretend it's capitalism? Gotcha. Nothing shifty or dishonest about you, is there Amarel? Heavens no. Lol.
Books are the reason I am economically literate.
But you are not economically literate. You talk complete shit. Literally, you have not got the first clue what you are talking about, and that is very obvious in the way you purposefully use the most obscure and complex language possible when attempting to explain simple ideas. You take highly irrational arguments, and attempt to hide them behind authoritative and convoluted language. You very evidently are confusing economic literacy with another thing called intellectual dishonesty.
Prices for healthcare in America are high because prices for healthcare are cheap in Europe?? Wtf? America doesn't run its healthcare system based on what people in Europe decide to do.
A fine illustration of your ignorance.
Pharmaceutical companies are global. When they cannot get a sufficient return on investment in one market, they will make up for it in another market. If all markets suppress the return on investment, it will be R and D that suffers.
you're telling me that hungry people are fat.
What makes you think fat people don’t get hungry?
“In contrast to international trends, people in America who live in the most poverty-dense counties are those most prone to obesity.”
No, it's a fine illustration that you simply don't know when to quit lying.
Pharmaceutical companies are global. When they cannot get a sufficient return on investment in one market, they will make up for it in another market.
No Amarel, not all pharmaceutical companies are global. That is false. Your implication that "pharmaceutical companies" (which sell drugs to people) are somehow the same thing as national health systems, is also false. Stupid and false. Furthermore, by your very own double standards, which you have demonstrated to us countless times previously, if one pharmaceutical company overcharges for its product, then consumers are "free" to go elsewhere for that product. You use this argument frequently to justify capitalism, but now you are predictably using the opposite argument -- one of monopoly and lack of choice -- when the fact that you have been making shit up is exposed.
There isn't much more to be said other than you are a simply spectacular liar. You have absolutely no problem with literally just making information up to suit whatever you happen to be arguing at the time.
If all markets suppress the return on investment, it will be R and D that suffers.
Your theory that global pharmaceutical companies willingly subsidise the European healthcare system with cheap drugs and make up for it by selling the same drugs to Americans for a much higher price, for no apparent reason, is false, ridiculous and stupid. It does not illustrate my ignorance. It illustrates that you are a limitlessly persistent liar.
It is rare that you respond to any of the facts I present with an argument. You usually present variations of denial, misrepresentation of what I e stated, and claim I’m lying. That’s mostly the case here. However, buried in the middle is a little bit of a real response (good job). It’s a fair argument to say that competition should bring prices down, and that free markets allow consumers to buy from the lowest bidder. That is indeed the case here (minus exclusive buyer deals by some companies). The problem is that equilibrium price for medication is higher in the US market. That’s because government mandated price floors in other countries suppress what would be their (higher) equilibrium price. The higher US prices are simply the market attempt to resolve disequilibrium in global markets.
Your theory that global pharmaceutical companies willingly subsidise
That’s not my theory at all, but I’m this case you likely didn’t know that. Price controls are not matters of company choice. See above.

Nom, do you understand a person can get a bunch of groceries at the Dollar Store for $100? Point being, if 40 million do not have $20 here and there to eat, then there is something seriously wrong with how the save/spend their money, or are not generating any income. Now, people who legitimately cannot work, or can only work under very limited circumstances should be provided for. However, others who do not fit that category will need to find means to generate an income for them to live by, and, fortunately, in America--there are many way of making that work in an affordable manner.
There are certain circumstances, which I have briefly discussed before on CD, that will make things rough temporarily. Though, that should just be a temporary phase(s) if it does occur.
Nom, do you understand a person can get a bunch of groceries at the Dollar Store for $100?
MathFan, do you understand that your anecdotes have absolutely no relationship with the fact that it is a matter of public record there are 41 million hungry people in America?
When you can refute my argument, you will have earned the right to condescend to me. Until such time, you are just another bitter troll who wants an argument completely absent a relevant point.
Point being
Point being you have no point. You're just trying to deflect the topic.
if 40 million do not have $20 here and there to eat, then there is something seriously wrong with how the save/spend their money
Point being that claiming 41 million people are making themselves hungry voluntarily is proof that there is something seriously psychologically wrong with you. You should try to understand that most people aren't psychopathic MathFan, so unlike yourself they don't search for ways to blame others for their own misfortunes.

It's proof they waste money. We have at least that many drug addicts.
I have already discussed why & how people can find themselves in temporarily difficult situations--although, that should just be temporary. Also, a small percentage of people who are legitimately unable to work should be provided for.
Now, aside from that, then yes--there is something wrong. There are extremely affordable groceries in America.
You realize, it is perverted & deranged to even think, let alone talk, like that?
I'm not the one jerking off to it right as we speak. I bet you like to poke little girls with your sneaky little pickle and run away before their parents spot you.

The USSR was ahead of the USA in most areas throughout most of the cold war. It only failed because Capitalists from the inside overthrew it.
Your view of the capitalist outlook is narrow and based solely on your own bias.
No, Your view of the socialist outlook is narrow and based solely on your own bias. Capitalism is only one step above feudalism.
We don’t believe that things cannot get much much better. We believe that things will get much much better in the same way they have gotten to such heights as we currently enjoy.
Then why do you dedicate so much time to arguing that we should stick to the same system instead of changing it? Because you don't want things to get better, you just want things to stay the way they are because it's better for the ruling class. You know what that makes you? It makes you either a cuck or a tyrant.
That is to say expansion of economic freedom
Your IQ must be lower than my level of tolerance for stupidity. Your level of economic freedom depends on your economic class in capitalism. It's not exactly economic freedom if 99% of the people are working to profit 1% of them.
But that can only happen if we keep Marxism from dragging everyone back to the 19th century, as it does wherever it takes root.
Bah, what an odious leech you are. Capitalism is what is stopping us from having virtually unlimited renewable and clean energy for one thing. Keep in mind this is only one example. We had the technology 100 years ago thanks to genius socialist Nicola Tesla to provide the entire planet with electricity for free, but to this day we are relying primarily on fossil fuel and nuclear energy which are dangerous, relatively scarce and pollution inducing. Meanwhile we have hundreds of other options but all the big money is invested in holding humanity back for profit. Where do you think the lie that climate change is a hoax comes from? It's perpetuated because it helps protect the financial interests of those invested in primitive energy. Even though we have the technical capability to do much better we don't because profit is all the establishment cares about.
Fortunately for all of us, your ignorant economics are thoroughly known to be toxic.
It's widely believed that my economics are ignorant and toxic because that's what the establishment wants you to think.
But keep calling people such things as “bag of semen flavored ginger snaps“, so that it is apparent at the outset exactly how seriously you should be taken.
That doesn't say anything about how seriously I should be taken, it only demonstrates how seriously I take you.
Good comeback. Did a 4 year old come up with that for you?
Stfu you horrible little Nazi prick. I've literally been here for twenty minutes and already today you have claimed that both Jason Kessler and David Duke are liberals. You are a lying extremist piece of shit and that's the reality of the matter.
It's easy to conclude that most of them are, even if they accidentally get bits and pieces correct. However that is no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Just like in Science, you have to go through a bunch of bad apples to find the Truth...

Just because someone tells you there's a baby in there, doesn't necessarily mean there is.

Religion is the opposite of science. Scientists search for the truth and then decide what the truth is. Followers of religion decide what the truth is and then search for it.
