Stalin revised a lot of what Marx and Engels wrote, to instill this idea that the Bolsheviks inherently represented socialism. It's where we got the idea that "communism is the government doing stuff," once the United States also agreed that the USSR was communist. But Marx and Engels never said that the government could bring about socialism. And certainly not through taxation and social programs. Their idea of the ultimate ideal society was more or less ruled by democratic trade unions.

[@DigitalFire5000]

You mean Lenin. Stalin just lived longer to carry out Leninism. Lenin is the real black spot on the left that corrupted Marx's ideas.

[@jamesh8654]

Have you ever seen how inefficient a trade union is? There’s a reason why the mafia used union for extortion.

[@Hugebull]

You miss one vital point. The reason why we use the term Socialism to describe the Bolsheviks and the Soviet Union under Stalin, is because that is where Socialism inevitably leads. We are even seeing it today in the Western Social Democracies, where the State is consolidating ever more power. First by banning weapons, and then passing hate-speech laws to outlaw dissent and opposing views and opinions. All while imposing mandatory national education done by the State, and outright banning homeschooling, as the State takes on more and more power in individual lives. Until, inevitably so, the State is absolute, and individuality has been erased.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

One aspect little explored by Karl Marx’s biographers and completely absent here (and elsewhere too) was the possible influence of English Protestant radicals on Marx’s work. These political theological groups that were crushed by Cromwell defended popular sovereignty and equal natural rights (Levellers), common ownership of things (the proposal of the Diggers; the Levellers opposed common ownership, except in cases of mutual agreement of the property owners), the cult of pleasure and the use of violence as a political tool (Ranters). The Levellers, Diggers and Ranters who wrote pamphlets used two metaphors present in Marx’s work: the world turned upside down and violence as the midwife of history. The use of the same metaphors does not seem to me to be a coincidence, because Marx lived in England and certainly must have had some kind of contact with pamphlets from these defenders of common property during the English Revolution that occurred in the mid-17th century. Was Marx a late secular radical Protestant?

[@MikeLiteraus]

Those groups were just building upon earlier proto communist pre protestant group in the Hussite movement known as the Taborites.

I can’t wait to watch! My philosophy professor in college had been given Demerol for a migraine, not realizing it’s a “drug-drug” & taught Day 1 of Marx, well totally lit. She said so many hilarious things that professors don’t usually say bluntly, and it really made Marx so much more interesting. She wasn’t terribly impressed, she’s one of those ethical theory weirdo psychos who actually like to read Haberman & Arendt… but it really opened my eyes to the moment in time and the dangers of “end justifies the means” thinking when you implement an idea. And the fact that Marx would have greatly benefited from being born AFTER the birth of psychology. Holy delulu, Batman! Brilliant but not sure he ever met any earthlings lol.

The list of European countries which exist today older than the USA is very small. Just counting the land held between the HRE and the Ottoman empire... Italy unification...I'm not sure if any slavic country is older than the USA except Russia. Not in a currently identifiable form. And that's not even considering just the changes of government. If you count the number of european countries that have had the same type of government since before the USA came to exist.... What would that equal? 1? 2? It's kind of crazy to think about. Because "EUROPE IS OLD AND USA IS YOUNG AND A BABY" which has it's truth...just not in actual country/government where we're the old man of the 'western' world.

I certainly don’t think that Marx would have considered the Leninism of the USSR to be the panacea he and Engels envisioned! For one thing, Lenin completely disregarded Marx’s theory that the country would have to industrialize moving into Capitalism and then Socialism BEFORE it could transform into Communism. And I’m POSITIVE Stalinism had nothing to do with their theories. I don’t think Marx can be blamed for the interpretations of others over half a century later. We have no idea how Marx would have revised his manifesto with the continuing changes the people were achieving with the rise in collective bargaining and Unions which gave immense power to the people.

[@jetty92487]

I would argue that much of what we see and call capitalism today isn't actually and is a direct result of governments getting involved in an attempt to make things more "fair". Capitalism is certainly not perfect, and definitely requires impartial guardrails on the societal level to avoid abuses, but as a means for lifting whole populations and even societies out of poverty, we have yet to devise a better system. Yes there are still those left behind and it's not always a fair or equal system, but it works because it acknowledges human nature and plays to its strengths. Socialism on the other hand, requires one to ignore basic human instincts and motivations and relies on people putting others before themselves. To see themselves as insignificant individually and only really of value when taken as part of the whole. In prosperous times this is fine. When there is plenty, the average person does not mind sharing with those less fortunate, but in times of shortage or conflict, the average person will always default to prioritizing themselves and their immediate family. Socialism implicitly requires a strong governmental force to enforce the collective mindset. That governmental force will almost necessarily be overbearing and all encompassing. This brings us to the idea of power and it's corrupting influence on the individual. When you place the sort of power necessary to cause a socialist economy to function in the hands of an individual or even a group of individuals, they will, as history bears out, invariably abuse that power to improve their own lot. We see that, even today, in many politicians who espouse socialist ideals. What they preach and what they live are typically drastically different. It can best be summed up by the phrase "socialism is for the people, not the socialist".

[@1985TIMEMACHINE]

I think that Karl Marx was not entirely responsible for the massacres of the 20th Century because he rejected the idea of authoritarianism and he never wanted to become a ruler of any country. I think of Marx as just a little bit of a messed up man. But he was never as messed up as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini or as Adolf Hitler was. I think deep down he was just an ordinary man with some very strong beliefs. Even though I like most people don’t believe in his ideology.

[@Seekersofwisdom-dq9wc]

You make a valid point that Marx wasn’t directly responsible for the massacres of the 20th century. He did reject authoritarianism and never sought to be a ruler. However, his ideas, particularly on class struggle and revolution, were later interpreted and implemented by leaders like Lenin and Stalin in ways that led to horrific consequences. While Marx himself may not have envisioned such outcomes, his theories were used to justify extreme actions. It's important to differentiate between Marx’s original ideas and how they were applied by others, but his influence on history can’t be ignored.

[@1985TIMEMACHINE]

@@DorotheaAntonio That's an interesting point! Much like Marx's ideas, the Bible has been interpreted and applied in various ways over centuries. Both have had profound influences on society and history, but the way they’ve been understood or used by different people or groups often diverges significantly from their original context or intent. With the Bible, for example, various religious denominations have drawn on it to justify different social and political agendas, much like how Marx's theories were shaped and reinterpreted by later leaders. Both texts are living documents in a way, continually re-examined through the lens of culture, time, and individual perspectives.

[@JohnLandau-rg4gh]

Marx's illegitimate son was known as Freidrich English Jr., after Marx;s great friend and co-author Freidrich Engels. He was not known as Freidrich Demuth. Marx's paternity is well documented from his personal leters that were published posthumously. Marx persuaded Engels to claim paternity in order to conceal his relations with the family housekeeper from his wife. He feared that she would divorce him if she knew.. As an adult, "Freddie Engels" was on friendly terms with Marx's three daughters, who sometimes called him "cousin Freddie." Very little is known, however about his life following the death of Marx and Engels.

[@JohnLandau-rg4gh]

Even though Marx was of Jewish ancestry, his essay On the Jewish Question" is filled with antisemitic invective. Marx wrote, for example, that "huckstering in the secular religion of the Jews." It is a strange, but real, phenomenon, that many people of Jewish ancestry who have disowned Judaism and converted converted to another religion, or their parents or grandparents had done this and raised them in aniother religion, usually Christianity, express anti-Jewish views and engage in anti-Jewish invective. The causes of this strange phenomenon are not fully understood. My guess is that ant-Semites of Jewish descent want to make it clear that, regardless of their Jewish ancestors, they themselves are not Jews.

[@Stayahead00]

Critics often misinterpret Marx’s use of terms like “huckstering,” which reflect his critique of capitalism and its commodification of human relationships, not an attack on Jewish identity. Marx’s essay On the Jewish Question critiques religion and economic systems as intertwined forms of alienation, not an expression of antisemitism. The claim conflates his philosophical critique of socio-economic structures with ethnic prejudice, ignoring that Marx aimed at broader systemic issues, not any single group. Mislabeling this as antisemitism dilutes the term and misrepresents Marx’s intentions.

I've watched or read several biographies on Marx at this point, and yours definitely is the kindest of the bunch that wasn't written by an avowed communist. I've also read some of Capital (You're right, it is very long and boring) and the Communist Manifesto in school. The man came up with a few good ideas such as people organizing for the sake of accomplishing a goal, and it did lead to the formation of labor unions which at the time was necessary as workers were being horribly exploited. HOWEVER on the grand scale, his ideas were a failure, and the critical flaw is that he didn't understand human nature and a with most leftist ideas took a "one size fits all" approach. On a personal level Marx was an absolutely disgusting lout. Surprised you didn't mention anything about his problem with boils from never washing himself, or the degree he had to mooch off of others. However if there is one thing I can say about Marx that affected me in positive way is that it helped me put philosophy and philosophers in perspective... meaning that all philosophy really is just a persons view of the world.

Marx was seduced by Spinoza, the architect of the Age of Enlightenment: the idea of an acosmic God as all reality with deep structures. Marx critiqued Hegel from a position in agreement with Spinoza. Marx worked Spinoza's God with terms like "modes of production", "elements of production", etc. Of course, Marx lived at the time of the ascendance of coal, the first instance of cheap energy and its attendant qualities of extraction, distribution, consumption, and scientific development. So, Marx fell for the illusion cheap energy sustained that nothing shares a border with the real appropriated as a knowledge: the real is infinitely appropriable as knowledge. We are mere "supports" of deep structures: "primitive communism" is a structure of production in the 2,500,000 years of genus Homo in the Pleistocene. Slavery is the next mode, followed by feudalism. Everything Marx sees with his Spinozistic gaze is destroyed, denied a border knowledge cannot cross.

[@glane3962]

You admire a man who’s ideology has killed millions of people in the name of communism. An ideology that oppresses to this day.

His writings fell to evil manipulation of evil man...if added a warning not to use violence maybe it would have worked...

[@gimzod76]

Nope he always intended violence as the first and only method of implementing his religion

[@The_meaning-of-life.1]

1. Almighty Allah is pre-eternal and post-eternal, He is the First and the Last. Neither in His essence, nor in His attributes, nor in His actions, has He in any way any equal, peer, like, or match, or anything similar, resembling, or analogous to Him. (The Words) 2. Yes, if there is anything astonishing in the world, it is such denial. For the endless aspects of order and instances of wisdom in the beings in the universe testify to His existence and Unity, so that even the most profoundly ignorant can understand what blindness and ignorance it is not to see or not to recognize Him. (The Thirtieth Flash) 3. It is as easy for the Lord of Glory to create a spring as it is to create a flower. But if creation were ascribed to causality, then the creation of a single flower would be as difficult as that of a whole spring. For Allah it is as easy to resurrect and gather all men as it is to resurrect and gather one man. (The Words) 4. Man has not been left to graze at will, with a halter loosely tied around his neck; on the contrary, the forms of all his deeds are recorded and registered, and the results of all his acts are preserved for the day when he shall be called to account. (The Words) 5. Come, look carefully at the inscriptions of this vast palace, look at all the adornments of the town, see the ordering of this whole land, and reflect on all the works of art in this world! (The Words) 6. In its entirety the universe is a supreme proof; it declares Allah’s glory and unity with both its manifest and its unseen tongues. Yes, it recites the unity of the Most Merciful in resounding voice, saying: THERE IS NO GOD BUT HE! (The Words) 7. Since the universe exists and cannot be denied, observable truths like wisdom, grace, mercy, beauty, order, balance, and adornment, which are like the colours, embellishments, lights, rays, arts, lives, and bonds of the universe, can in no w ay be denied. (The Flashes) 8. It is impossible for this beautiful world not have an owner; similarly, it is impossible for its owner not to inform people about Himself and not to describe Himself. (Mesnevi-i Nuriye) 9. Work for Allah's sake, meet with others for Allah's sake, labour for Allah's sake; act within the sphere of ‘For Allah, for Allah's sake, on account of Allah.' Then all the moments of your life will become like years. (The Flashes) 10. The universe is a tree. Elements are its branches. Plants are its leaves. Animals are its flowers. Human beings are its fruits. The most enlightening, luminous, the best, the most generous, honorable and pleasant fruit of the universe is Hazrat Muhammad, the Master of the Prophets and Apostles, the Imam of Muttaqis and the beloved of the Lord of the Realms. Verses from the Quran 1. "O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded away from the Truth?" (Surah Fatir Verse 3) 2. "Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful." (Surah Baqarah ayat 163) 3. "O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware." (Surah al hujurat 13) Some sayings of the Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad 1. "Allah doesn't look at your appearance nor your wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and your deeds." 2. "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hands the people are safe." 3. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever says I am satisfied with Allah as my Lord, Islam for my religion and Muhammed as my prophet will have earned paradise.” Good KZbin channels that I recommend to learn about Islam. please watch 1.
