    QuoteBut what WASN'T mentioned was the application of Marx's ideas, as carried out by a devotee in Lenin,
    Quite right that was not the subject of the video.
    QuoteThis is seemingly a common characteristic among advocates of Communism (or any other social control scheme really), a topic to be avoided certainly.
    This is odd, you decide what should be in a video, perhaps you forget that Marx has a body of work that preceded Lenin's work, and that only Marxism is need to understand the subject which was resource wars.
    QuoteThe ACTUAL results, as compared to the theory.Could it be because a full view of these ideas makes them all unpalatable, with Communism being just another shitty social control mechanism, designed to just put power and control in the hands of a few and counting on the sheeple to just keep being sheeple? Capitalism, Imperialism, Communism, Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, spin the wheel and regardless of where it stops....YOU LOSE!
    That is quite a rant.  Let me clarify something.  My only interest in Marxist-Leninism is to learn from it.  My interest in Communism is in American Communism.  China adapted communism.  They have Communism with Chinese Characteristics.  I want Communism with American characteristics.  I an not interested in giving speeches in long black leather coats, but if I do I'll look damn good.
    QuoteWhen Communism in any of its applied forms arrives and inflicts itself upon the people you get the Holodomor! The Great Chinese Famine! Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot!!When Communism in any of its applied forms arrives and inflicts itself upon the people you get the Holodomor! The Great Chinese Famine! Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot!!
    No you do not.  Your statement is total bullshit.  If you mention Pol Pot and communism in the same sentence all you do is show ignorance.  Do some research on that yourself.  * I already have.
    QuoteSo...I'm just guessing here...but maybe there are reasons why while the theory of Communism sounds just jim dandy great from certain perspectives..
    Everything looks Jim Dandy when you don't know very much about something. It is called the Dunning Kruger Effect.  After you have read a few hundred pages of core socialist literature as I have we can discus feelings of 'Jim Dandy' then.  When you can explain the origin of value we can have something to talk about.  Better yet, explain in 25 words or less exactly what Marxism is.  Until then I'll have to enjoy this myself,

    QuoteWhen doing a sales pitch you are counting on spouting only the good things to collect your cut of the sheeple, can you imagine if you told them what happens when your particular idea was implemented?
    You know nothing of my ideas.  You speak of my ideas, but all you do is betray your own.

    Your last childish comment gets no response.  When you cut and pasted it in you forgot to remove the fucking quotes.

    You can start to dig yourself out of your pit of ignorance with this:


    * Democratic Kampuchea was "state capitalist" — the economy was state-controlled and aimed at exploiting the labor force to produce commodities for sale on the world market. The low hanging fruit was rice.  Pol Pot pot was a dictator.  Everyone was sent to the countryside to grow rice for export.  There was nothing actual communist about Pol Pot.  The FSOA bombed Pol Pot into power.  Pol Pot was a warlord financed by the FSOA.  The Long Secret Alliance: Uncle Sam and Pol Pot
