Karl Marx, the Drunkard who Laid the Foundation for Communism

Karl Marx (1818-1883) is mostly known as one of the founders of Communism. His ideology was the foundation for dictatorships all over the world. What a lot of people don’t know s that Marx an…

Sorry off topic perhaps. But some of the foundation why this is happening in Ukraine today. Capitalism v Marxism, Taoism, Maoism take your pick. I wanted to give Stevo a chuckle.

The 'Russian soldiers are extracting gold by torture' story put out by the Ukraine Ministry of Defence, doesn't hold up and is a big lie.

UK media claim gold teeth show Russian war crime. Germans show dentist: ‘They’re mine’

 

[glorydaze]

You mean as a result of the Yalta agreement which was agreed to by both the USA and UK mate?

Learn your history, the Yalta agreement was for the division of Germany after ww2. I’m referencing the annexation of numerous other European countries. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and all the Baltic states.

All this “but the west…” garbage from some gimps in this thread is mind boggling.

America invaded Iraq nearly 20 years ago so that means Russia trying to steamroll Ukraine is fair game?

Jesus Christ.

And Allied leaders also discussed the future of Germany, Eastern Europe and the United Nations. Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin agreed not only to include France in the postwar governing of Germany, but also that Germany should assume some, but not all, responsibility for reparations following the war. The Americans and the British generally agreed that future governments of the Eastern European nations bordering the Soviet Union should be “friendly” to the Soviet regime while the Soviets pledged to allow free elections in all territories liberated from Nazi Germany. Negotiators also released a declaration on Poland, providing for the inclusion of Communists in the postwar national government.

Maybe you should learn your history mate

Wow so your Marxism knowledge comes from the same source as this

Maybe spend a bit more time next time looking up something you're clueless about old chum.

Something has to be done on the table, this war is going to escalate to a nuclear nightmare..leaders all over the world need to step up instead of sending arms and sort something in dialogue. This mad man putin won't accept losing face and when he's backed to a wall he will do the most feared I think..getting older and not well maybe not about in the near future

Sorry you didn’t chuckle. Even though you are so misguided. He died a drunk in poverty in London due to being kicked out of Germany and France because of his beliefs. Am I clueless on this also. I am old and a Economics major. Not as clueless as you thought eh? Karl Marx was required reading of what not to do. Once you move to Russia and live long enough you will experience what I am saying. Corruption will undermine the structure eventually which has played out in Putin’s Russia just like the Soviet Union. As big as Russia is why does it’s GDP pale in comparison to Western Europe along with it’s intellectual property And I’m not even putting them up with the US. Marxism works when you deceive the masses. Communism eventually results and this leads to necessitate Empire Building which will eventually be a epic fail as technology will overcome brute force.
Read any missive why Marxism fails perhaps a Carl Blidt read on the topic may be more your cup of tea.

Ah, the classic "Evil powerful man wants something and has shown he will brutally go after any weakness, so we should give him what we want" panic response.

I mean, Im as real about the catastrophic potential of a nuclear weapons drop as anyone, but the line has already been crossed. There is no going back in this world now, there is no appeasing the madman and him returning to normal. He hates the rest of the world now and the only thing holding him back from murdering another 200k people is his own fear of the consequences. The moment you let him think he has control its over for all of us and the world will never be the same. China and North Korea among others are watching intently.

Marxism on display. Corruption is the cancer. The masses spoon fed morsels so the elite play and play they do.
