Massive HP, basically the Vaush of his day.

It's a shame that none of your posts are as funny as your sig.

I'm glad you like my sig, out of all of them, who is most inspiring to you?  For me it's Murasaki Shikibu (under Boudicca and above Pope Joan), Sarah Palin, Naoko Takeuchi (between Margaret Thatcher and Ann Coulter), and Lisa from BLACKPINK (under Shania Twain and to the right of Harriet Tubman, she's the third from the left).  It's too hard to choose just one.

I'm more of a Jennie girl myself, have you heard her Solo?

Yes, excellent singer, truly a national treasure of the Republic of Korea (only legitimate government of Korea, have you ever seen North Korea, I have, it's depressing).

Overall HP.

I don't think he was generally evil or so, indeed identified problems with excessive capitalism, but his proposed "cures" were questionable all too often.

The big flaw with Marx was that he was good at identifying problems and extremely short on developing detailed 'cures' to those problems. His later acolytes stepped into the breach with... um... mixed results, but those by and large can't be laid at the feet of Marx the man.

He identified a good system (capitalism) and decided that it was a problem.

Reminds me of how Communists see Marx on LGBT issues vs how he actually was:

Speaking of Mao, I've always wondered what Chiang Kai-shek's stance on LGBT would be had he lived longer.  His treasurer's daughter was a cross-dressing lesbian.

What was Abraham Lincoln's view on gay marriage, I wonder?

Probably against, 19th century Republicans were a bunch of moralists.

It’s worth bearing in mind that Marx didn’t consider capitalism to be a problem in and of itself. He was actually surprisingly complementary of it in certain writings - he considered it a necessary stage in the upward progress of humanity that would soon be replaced by socialism (a further advance), a stance that marks him out from some other socialist thinkers of the time (Fourier) who regarded capitalism and its accoutrements (trade, investment) as bad in and of themselves.

You're right.  That's why he supported Abraham Lincoln's war of aggression against the South.

Is it bad that I keep confusing Vaush and Roosh?

No, they're both pseudointellectuals who are not worth your time.
