What is the hardest question for a Marxist/Communist to answer without scapegoating to the usual responses?
>Have a few friends that are Marxists >I'm the 'weird friend' who 'can't possibly actually believe the shit he says' and 'is probably just memeing all the time'.
Every time I ask them questions that I find to be reasonable they always say something of the following: >race or intelligence isn’t real, stop being anti-scientific >that’s because you can’t conceptualize life without the concept of ‘capital’ >it has to do with class and if they had a living wage and no systemic barriers, they wouldn’t be x, y and z. I’ve read some of their reading recommendations and have tried to gain insight on their perspectives and while learning a lot, it hasn’t changed my controversial political views. As a matter of fact, it was easy to call out some fabricated and disingenuous statements from the older reading material they recommended, as time and the internet have shown light on many propagandist and misleading bad-faith actors within historical literature.
So what would be the best question to ask a Marxist if you could only ask one single question to provoke them to fully contemplate the validity of their ideology?
marx was a racist. marx believed captialism was a necessary step to get to communism
Connor Hughes
the idea of eliminating capital is as fucking stupid as saying eliminate all calculators and rulers, we will just use our feelings to measure things! i've never met a marxist in my life who wasn't a pretentious, fake faggot
Gavin King
Most brainwashed people speak in slogans, ask them to explain their slogans. Keep pushing for an explanation and they just get angry.
Ask how the USSR collapsed and forbid them to say "that wasn't real communism" laugh at them as they try to explain away all the problems. done.
Levi Rogers
I've presented them with something similar in the past and there responses were:
>'those letters were likely satirical if you look into the context of his writings' and >'maybe initially, so the time for communism is now. Fascism is just a reaction to late-stage capitalism while keeping the capitalist roots in power. Communism is the true phoenix.'
Landon Torres
I've presented this and they claim labor is the proper measurement I don't want to make them angry, but make them truly question themselves. They'd give me a long dissertation about how the USSR fell by CIA OPS or global capitalist sabotage, etc.
This is all shit they can scapegoat without invoking any inner dialogue to break the Yuri Bezmenov tier programming.
Nicholas Scott
>I've presented this and they claim labor is the proper measurement that doesn't even make sense. don't argue with brainlets, just secretly undermine them
Cameron Scott
>Hardest question for Marxists to answer? Mostly the math and logic related ones
It is a bit hard to understand but keep re-reading the concepts and then it becomes clear.

>What is the hardest question for a Marxist/Communist to answer without scapegoating to the usual responses? Will you pay the rent or will have to lawfully vacate you?
>labor is the proper measurement They're not wrong. Remind them Hitler issued labor-based currency.
Christopher Mitchell
I've gotten into long winded bullshit conversations about this. It makes sense in a massive framework of perfected scenarios and situations. The whole 'world peace' paradise structure to contain their equations without thinking about real-world applications.
The interesting part is that if you were to suspend you disbelief and hear them out, assuming their ridiculous variables are attainable, then their arguments can be compelling. I think that's why they got suckered in - it all just looked so good on paper.
Evan Bennett
>labor-based currency. im in a thread full of retards
Ayden Diaz
Ask them for a Marxist response to the problem of automation and what happens in a post-labor economy where technology has made labor unnecessary.
Dominic Kelly
Well the goal is not to make them angry, but to make them try to explain the unquestioned slogans in their head. These slogans are designed to stop them from thinking. They are referred to as "thought stopping slogans" Like "Workers of the World Unit" What the hell does that mean? Ask them economic questions. How do you set the price of strawberries?
Jack Martinez
How am I wrong?
Blake Sanchez
I'll check it out, thanks
Xavier Russell
It was a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately. But anything was better than the sextillion-tier currency of Weimar
Cameron Howard
Have them, in their own words, define: Exploitation.
>race or intelligence isn’t real, stop being anti-scientific These aren’t marxist then, these are just your run of the mill pozzed neo-lib mutts, Made in US&A TM. Your country really is a breeding ground for absolutely amazing and absolutely retarded people with no middle ground.
I am a marxist/stalinist and I’d round up all the faggots, trans, otherkins, misbehaving niggers, misbehaving mudshits, all non-stem university graduates and third and second wave feminists.
Blake Bailey
Feel free to elaborate, since you so confidently told me I was retarded for saying Hitler issued a labor based currency
Jackson King
Actually yes! I've shit talked synthesis with them and these topics usually boil down to differing philosophical outlooks. With a close friend, this ended up simply being that I appreciate culture and tradition and he simply doesn't give a shit about it.
I've been looking for that screencap though, so thanks
Leo Stewart
What are IDs I guess I am a retard
Sebastian Hernandez
In what way is race realism incompatible with Marxism? Marx was himself was a race realist and woke on the jq
James Williams
Communism is just another STRUCTURE or ...SYSTEM. hence SYSTEMATIC There is nothing logical in demonizing a SYSTEM in favor of another system if your whole argument is .."muh systemic" barriers.
Followers of MARX are idiots. the only way to a societal triumph is through TRUE ETHNIC NATIONALISM Where every member is a voting member And any deviation away from the ETHNIC GOOD is Forbidden all the while TENURE is limited and guided by TERM LIMITS and loyalty is ensured by WEALTH GAINS are forbidden by Politicians while they hold office. The Political class should be ruled by the people by way of FEAR of repercussions of fucking the PEOPLE over.
MARX was a frizz haired jew
Cameron Gonzalez
Classic socialists you can use Friedman theories to disprove all of their shit. Modern leftists that adopt Adorno Feankfurt school behavior you can't ask them anything. The only strategy is attack their beliefs and hope they wake up someday.

>is the bum/beggar of a town just as worthy as a genius/inventor?
Xavier Thomas
marxists think "value" is a natural resource and not just a concept. they're literally fucking morons. especially the academic ones. >How am I wrong? the Reichsmark was gold backed and pegged to several foreign currency values.
Juan Long
Actually you could kind of make an argument for your point, I guess?
>On the 27th September, 1923, the government declared a state of emergency and abdicated. A new government completed the reform plan: the new currency should be the Rentenmark, based on gold. It was not declared legal tender, no conversion ratio with the paper mark was set, nor was it actually backed by gold - there was not enough of it in Germany. The issuing bank, the "Deutsche Rentenbank" was independent from the outset. The new money was not based on the state, but on the economy itself. The agricultural sector and the industries each took on a half of the bank's capital in the form of debt - mortgages in the value of 4% of all lands used for agriculture and forestry, and debt issued by the industries, crafts and trades, each in amount of 1600 million goldmark.
>birth requires the labour of your mother carrying and feeding you lazy ass so is this a pro abortion ad...?

Marx lists race as a material factor of production in vol. 1 of Capital, so there's that. They sound like third-rate undergrad Marxists.
Nathaniel Price
This is the essence of what you are dealing with
"The language of the totalist environment is characterized by the thought-terminating cliché. The most far-reaching and complex of human problems are compressed into brief, highly reductive, definitive-sounding phrases, easily memorized and easily expressed. These become the start and finish of any ideological analysis." Lifton
Matthew Harris
Reminds me of Bezmenov's programming description for Marxist propaganda. Definitely interesting. I never heard of the thought-terminating cliché, that's some real shit.
Brayden Jones
Yes but this reduction to simple “if x equals y then z, checkmate!” Is what plagues literally every single aspect of the society/world we live in and thought police is present on both sides of political spectrum with neo-left being just more batshit insane.
Jordan Morris
ask them what system is in place under their idea of Communism to keep selfish people from being "capitalistic" and doing the naturally selfish human things that humans naturally do that undermined Communism. In other words ask, "Who enforces the Communism". If they answer along the lines of Communism doesn't need to be enforced, they are idiots If they answer reeducation, camps, imprisonment, death for every generation of humans that behaves naturally, then they are honest
Grayson Bennett
ok but how did the USSR thrive so well then? if it was a truly socialist society, how did it last for such a long period? (1918-1991)
Xavier Lopez
Yeah, we talked about this before with "who watches the watchmen?" sort of scenario. This was actually a good concept to tackle for them, because they do not necessarily know how to "community police for marginalized people" (those who are oppressed, black, etc) without accidentally becoming the Brown Shirts.
I also pointed this out to be the white savior complex, and they disagreed due to promoting human rights, etc.
Connor Perry
The brainwashing process has been going on in the schools. These people have been brainwashed and unfortunately they are now very dangerous. The eight criteria of brainwashing is where there Marxist feel the right to dispense with the existence of anyone who does not believe as they.
Zachary Collins
>liquidating people left and right yea, i wonder how
Christian Martin
Ask them if they believe they have the ability or the need for everything they own
Tyler Davis
You want a successful communist nation? Combine Fascism with Socialism that rewards based on merit and quality of the human being.
>whites get increased rewards, programs to help alleviate the suffering, eugenics program that promotes healthy living and offspring, labour industry education programs that will lead to a healthy, independent generation of workers that will be loyal to their race and the state, education programs offered to successful students and those that show promise while working to help those that are lagging behind due to socially-imposed (like abusive households) and giving them a second chance. If any fail and do not meet the quality mark standard, design a system that works to give these "second rate citizens" a place in society, like garbage men, janitors, fast food workers, and let them be presented with the chance to succeed by working backwards towards the top that won't cost them living expenses, by rewarding for productivity. If they don't, this is why mankind invented a gulag. Make a crime to be a failure.
>strip women of their rights expect to be allowed to express opinions (it isnt like anyone will listen to them anyways, but placating with falsehoods always brings about semi positive results
>ban jews/niggers/unproductive non-whites from the country that can not fulfill important roles we need whites to fulfill. Juan the janitor can exist in a town of five hundred, but WILL be monitored closely and be deported should he be easily replaced, no questions asked.
There you go, there's the stepping stones to a successful Nazbol country. Marx understood the human element was flawed and unless you have pure, total control, nothing will be achieved. I doubt he knew exactly what kind of leadership would be required but one with direct foresight and harsh but rational judgement would be needed.
Capitalist's are soft doughboys and neet-fags, look at AnCaps and Libertards. Fucking liberals wearing different clothes.

People are not taught to think for themselves, only to feel. The brainwashing is very powerful and the methods are now very advanced.

>he doesn't know about ULP
Jace Edwards
I understand they're in very, very deep. One of them is actually nearing the scary end. However, they are my only few friends and, in all other aspects other political, they are decent people with good intentions.
They refuse to talk to right wing extremists or anyone on the right, which puts me in an interesting position. I go out of my way to read their literature and talk to them, yet they avoid places like Yas Forums like the plague.
Anthony Richardson
>"Oh you hate society yet you participate it?"
They'd hit me with that meme, unfortunately
Cameron Ortiz
Why are you friends with communists? They at least need to be ostracized if we're not going to execute them at the moment.
Marxist only recruit the best people they can find.
Your friends are in what is called Milieu Control.
"Milieu Control. This involves the control of information and communication both within the environment and, ultimately, within the individual, resulting in a significant degree of isolation from society at large."
This is the first criteria of brainwashing.
Ayden Fisher
Once you hit your late 20's making new friends is definitely more of a chore. I've known these guys for years. They may be able to come to reason.
Christian Wilson
Do they understand they are a class that is going to be liquidated
