KARL MARX

This page reserved for bashing Karl Marx. Had it not been for the genuine sociological interests of Engels, Marx would have been laughed out of the meeting halls. Engels' research gave credibility to Marx's rantings; Marx was only a malcontent rabble-rouser.

Marx's claims against the bourgeois are redundant and (violating his own demand for dialectic and doctrine) without a viable accusation or resolution. His rhetoric is merely street-talk, upgraded to a political and inflammatory vocabulary.

His dismay over private property is absurd. Economically and sociologically speaking, unrestrained greed and borrowing are the cause and tool of social instability, creating a virtual environment that must break down under a real and primal influence. Marx was aware of this and was openly anti-Semitic, using the stereotype Jew as a scapegoat for economic woes like Hitler did (and many others).

In the first place, I'd seriously question anyone who calls for the destruction or domination of a class or society of peoples. Marx was obsessed with the feudal system, and this contributed to his ambivalent message. I see a parallel in the regimes that embraced his work. Under communist orders, there is (ideally) a 2-class distinction; the bureaucrat and the proletarian; the credo becomes the sovereign. Is that any different than the Lord and the Serf? The serf could never (without rebellion) obtain any credibility from the lord because the serf was basically a slave; ignorant of the matters and policies of the state. This kind of oppression was in strong evidence in communist Russia, etc. The following quotes illuminate the motive and (hence) the execution of such doctrines.



Much of the rhetoric attributed to Marx was actually coined by other political
philosophers and activists. So, the memorable battle-cries of Marx are really
only the product of plagiarism:

Religion is the opiate of the people.- Heine
The Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.- Marat
Workers of all countries, unite!- Karl Schapper

The nobility of Marx's motives becomes suspect and his true aspirations
(or, delusions of grandeur) become clearer when we read an amorphism that
can be attributed to him:
"I am nothing and I must be everything." - Karl Marx The Communist Manifesto




Gimme some time (and send your thoughts) to lay out the evidence against Marx and "his" ideology. The work is in progress; "under construction".
