The Marxists: Why Karl Marx Was the Most Influential Thinker of All Time

Karl Marx was many things: philosopher, journalist, economist and historian. In many ways, he was a modern renaissance man. His revolutionary ideas, though, are his legacy. They have literally changed the world. His far-reaching analyses and theories have inspired millions of people to become politically active. 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of his birthday. After the collapse of many socialist regimes, Marx seemingly became less popular. But when the big financial crisis hit in 2008, his ideas re-emerged in many places: at universities, conventions, cultural television programs, even in churches. 200 years after his birth, Marx’s beliefs aren’t forgotten. We uncover the developments in society that were actually inspired by Marx - and there are many. From the Russian Revolution, the founding of the German socialist party, the long trek of Mao Zedong in China, the implementation of socialism in all of Eastern Europe after World War II, to the revolutionary movements in Latin America and Cuba. Karl Marx might be the most influential thinker of all time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hold my drink. So funny. Like bro, do. you even know about his actual life, he was sad, poor and hypocritical with incomplete nonsense theory and fractured understanding of economics. Peter Pan complex,... and not to mention the blatant personal and societal failures of those who carry his nonsense ideology.

Simple to answer. Every human being is born with two attributes; 1 - Animal 2 - Human Animal: for survival, fight or flight. Human: solidarity, fraternity, brotherhood, altruism, kindness. People who are influenced by Max are evil, selfish, arrogant and savage, because the predominant side is the animal, therefore primitive. And people where the human side is predominant, have a higher degree of consciousness and only want the good, therefore they are more evolved.

Marx is only powerful in the eyes of the right. For them he is powerful in two ways, a powerful symboll of evil, and in their imaginations a powerful actor on the left. To socialists, Marx is a crank, his materialism pre-Victorian pseudo-science, his dialectic just a bunch of hooey.

Если кто не знает, в разгар 1 мировой войны, Германия способствовала отправке в Россию в 1917 году, многих радикальных революционеров во главе с Лениным, их всех собрали в 3 вагона (в википедии можете найти информацию про эти вагоны как Sealed Train) и отправили в Россию в объезд линии фронта, через Швецию-Финляндию. Таким образом после начала революции в России, фронт на востоке для Германии оказался ослаблен и быстро пал.

It became a Marxist dictatorship and now is the poorest despite fabulous oil wealth.

Did capitalism really destroy the Greek economy? It wasn't the case that Greece became ever more capitalist until it got into trouble. because of the fatal flaws inherent in capitalism. The existence of freely available capital allowed Greek politicians to borrow beyond their country's ability to repay, as well as have generous social policies that kept them in power, but this isn't really a result of capitalism per se. In a pre-capitalist society, Greece could have imported technology with a promise to pay it back - for example with olive oil or wine - and then not be able to do that as the technology they imported did not generate the required improvements to production required. At this point, the country that gave them that technology could have demanded payment and the Greek citizens would have had to go without olive oil and wine until the debt was paid. I think it is more as a result of liberal politicians not imposing the rules outlined in the EU's Stability and Growth Pact. Greece became addicted to debt and is not going through terrible withdrawal symptoms. The international banking crisis didn't make Greek politicians run up huge debts to give overly generous benefits to Greeks. Of course you could argue that the lenders were also unwise to make the loans but this doesn't relieve Greece of its responsibility to pay them back. You could also argue that the ability the IMF has to effectively bail out countries that get into debt problems does little to discourage politicians from taking these risks.
