I don't recall Marx being an anti-Semite and even if he was it didn't affect the views of the people his book inspired. Look at this quote from Vladimir Lenin, you know the guy who founded the Soviet Union and was actually interested in making it a better place:Brett Dumain said:Read my discussion with the RandomNameRandom person, I am intimately familiar with the difference between communism and socialism. In Marx's thinking, socialism is a step on the road to communism, so therefore you have to be socialist before you can be communist.Jimmybobjr said:Eugenics were a common ideal throughout history. Most people in that time followed the ideal.Brett Dumain said:What did he do, aside from write a book and be anti-Semitic? Oh, and also encourage eugenics (the science behind Hitler's crazy racial superiority theory)? He sat around and bitched about things without lifting a finger to change them. Aside from, again, writing a book.Jimmybobjr said:You seem to forget that Karl was probably the most caring person in the world.Brett Dumain said:Karl Marx. That broke self hating Jew has been responsible for the starvation, murder, and forced imprisonment of over 100 million people over the course of the last century.
In a time when if you were poor, you were nothing, Karl was the one person in the world too look at this system of life and say "This is wrong, im going to do something about it!"
My arse hes Evil.
And so what "If he only wrote a book!" Books are powerfull things, and often shape history. Look at the bible for gods sake. Thats shaped history. People follow the bible, and in many cases, its made theyre lives better - so who says that Karl's book cant?
And plus- You claim that Karl Marx is the "MOST EVIL PERSON IN HISTORY" Because he wrote a book that reportedly resulted in the "Starvation, Murder and Forced Imprisonment of over 100 million people!"? Im certain that He didnt intend that. Again ill use the bible as an example, or even religon in general; This was not the intended effect.
And finaly, a technicality- There is not a single country in the world that correctly follows Karl's ideals. The closest anyone has ever gotten is China.
Socialism and Communism are not the same thing. Karl spoke of Communism. Russia, Cuba, China, Korea, Vietnam and whatever else are Socialist. There is a difference.
And because no one has done it "correctly", we should just keep letting these muderous dictatorships spring up in the hope that one of them MIGHT get it right? Which, by the way, all of the countries you mentioned, in essence, saw out Marx's thoughts to their inevitable conclusion because, aside from being an anti-Semite and a hypocrite, Marx was also an idiot who thought he knew something about philosophy and so tried to impose his warped view of how reality should be upon the rest of the world. If anything, Marxism is a religion, with its adherents blindly following it like the sheep all these atheists keep accusing other "recognized" religions of creating.
"The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews. ... It is not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries. Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism. ... The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. ... Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob, and disunite the workers. ... Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations."
