Alright you are transported back in time when Karl Marx is about to write his book the communist manifesto but notices your presence and in the odd twist of events he asks you for help with some ideas and suggestions to put in his book. You can't kill him nor destroy the book but you have the chance to alter the meaning and the rest of the book before it is published.
What do you tell Karl Marx and what do you have him put in the book?
Communism can only work for European peoples. Add that as a disclaimer.
Ryder Flores
Applies to very small applications only
Isaac Morales
I'd argue with him that it's going to be a long hard road to full communism, and tone down some of the triumphant tone
Make it a bit colder and sharp
William Perry
Tell him to add more explicit support for patriarchies and ethno nationalism so that retards won't misinterpret and revise him. OP do you btw know that the maifesto is a propaganda book and kapital the philosophical one?

Camden Turner
Das Kapital
Isaac Perry
idiot
Ayden Reyes
Kapital vol 1 is the big book that introduces most of his big ideas, even though it was written quite late in his life. The manifesto was written collaboratevly by marx and other communists as a propaganda booklet.

Probably also add at the end of this paragraph
marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm >The essential conditions for the existence and for the sway of the bourgeois class is the formation and augmentation of capital; the condition for capital is wage-labour. Wage-labour rests exclusively on competition between the labourers. The advance of industry, whose involuntary promoter is the bourgeoisie, replaces the isolation of the labourers, due to competition, by the revolutionary combination, due to association. The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.
Or else barbarism and fall

Tell him to make ot extremely clear and important that the right to bear arms for all is important to insure that everyone is equal in unity and power and to tell him that any group that tries to rise up and control must not be allowed the power and must be deemed as a threat.

All socialism is is worker ownership of the means of production. Why is this so bad? You should be able to keep the full product of the fruit of your labour (minus whats needed for police officers, military, firefighters, etc. as these are necessary communal services. Roads could be paid for when you renew your driver's license or plates). Right now with capitalism it's the owner, not the worker, who gets what you produce. In the form of profit. You just get a wage for what you produce.
In an ideal world you would have worker cooperatives where every worker was an equal shareholder and equal voter (so the profits and responsibility are shared equally). They would democratically elect a CEO, who then sets the pay scale for all the workers (so yes there would be inequality in socialism. Executives would get paid more than burger flippers. But you wouldn't have the gross inequality that we have now because the executives would be kept in check by democratic rule. And everyone would be an equal shareholder.)
Alternatively you could have state ownership of the corporations. The "Worker's Republic". And the state would set payscales. The state would be accountable to the people through democratic vote. If the state managed to produce a budget surplus, that surplus could be paid at as a dividend to the workers in said worker's republic. Instead of going to some rich kike.
Anthony Cruz
>Or else barbarism and fall The greater the delay, the greater the change as all that was human melts into air
>All socialism is is worker ownership of the means of production. Why is this so bad? There's more than that, but let's go into it. Because of a few reasons. For one, it has invariably involved seizing the means of production from their rightful owners. For another, 16 year old kids shouldn't own the means of production at the part time job they work at over the summer.
>You get to keep the full product of the fruit of your labor You already do. Surplus value does not exist. When you work for an employer, you are selling your labor.
People are free to set up co-ops right now, in capitalist countries. They generally don't, because what you're suggesting is a shit way to run a business.
>Shareholders There is no reason a laborer should be a shareholder just because he works there. Shareholders own part of the company because they BUY part of the company. Shareholders help to provide the capital necessary for the business to run.
>rightful owners People who just sit and watch profits grow are the rightful owners now? Sounds a loy like aristocracy >You already do. Surplus value does not exist. When you work for an employer, you are selling your labor. Literally how do you think profits are made? >Shareholders help to provide the capital necessary for the business to run. Where do you think capital comes from? Moreover, what do you think capital and money -are-? Just as profits come from extracting the surplus value of labor, capital is merely a representation of the ability to buy labor.
Absolutely nothing. The Communist Manifesto is perfect.
What I would have told Marx though would have been him to have a more straightforward and consistent theory of crisis outside the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, to actually write his promised treatise on dialectics so that we wouldn't have had Marxists argue over "dialectics" without knowing what they're talking about, and to stop getting distracted by Russia and actually finish writing Capital and not die in the middle of writing it.
Levi Allen

Daniel Collins
>For one, it has invariably involved seizing the means of production from their rightful owners. For another, 16 year old kids shouldn't own the means of production at the part time job they work at over the summer. rightful owners? All land on earth started out as communal property. Why shouldn't 16 year old part timer workers over the summer own shares? Once they stop working there, they relinquish their shares and stop collecting dividends. They don't get to keep their share when they leave. They just get to keep the salary and dividends they collected over that summer. If you want to keep your stake in the company, you have to work. That's how it works.
>Surplus value does not exist Yes it does. In the form of profit. In a socialist society, you can not have employees. Owners would have to work alongside the workers and wouldn't have any more power than any other worker. 1 worker, 1 share, 1 vote.
>People are free to set up co-ops right now, in capitalist countries. They generally don't, because what you're suggesting is a shit way to run a business. People don't start up co-ops because they don't have the necessary capital to do so. And small businesses are at a tremendous competitive disadvantage. Because large corporations benefit from economies of scale. Amazon and Wal-Mart can afford to beat ma and pa shops on price.

He got distracted (I think by Russian agriculture) and never went back to finishing Capital. Ended up having a shitton of unpublished manuscripts which were collected into Volumes 2 and 3 by Engels, Volume 4 by Kautsky, and the Grudrisse by the soviets after Marx . The degree in which Marx wanted to publish the manuscripts and whether Engels organization of them is accurate to what Marx intended is hotly contended.
That was Engels, not Marx. Marx just agreed with him. The part where the Manifesto asserts that primitive communities did not have class divisions was inserted later down the road by Engels.

I'd make the fucker and his whole family work in the fields from sun up to sun down, and make sure he got the standard handful of food for the time. Then after a year give him the opportunity to make more than twice his income working in the fields and only have to work 12 hours, in which his wife can stay home and look after and feed all his kids (in reality 4 of his kids died of neglect) Then ask him to talk about the 'evils' of capitalism.

Marx didn't consider capitalism evil. Have you read the Communist Manifesto? He regards capitalism as revolutionary and progressive and pre-capitalist societies reactionary. In fact the history of 20th century communism was the history of Communists completing the bourgeois revolution because liberalism has proved itself inadequate to deal with imperialism perpetuating semi-feudal relations of production.
No it's not. I have never heard that excuse from any Communist. People in general have always struggled with employment because unemployment is endemic to the capitalist system.
Have you ever tried applying for a job before? Have you ever been laid off and had to get another job because the economy sucks? Jesus, the people who make the accusation of Marx being "lazy" always seem to be people who've never worked a day in their lives.
Alexander Rodriguez
>All land started off as unclaimed. And just people in the past laid claim to that land, they should be able to pass it down from generation to generation? We live in a system in which (((trust fund kids))) never have to work a day in their life.
>Because 16 year olds don't know how to run a fucking McDonalds. It has nothing to do with dividends. Just because you own shares, doesn't mean you run the company. The shareholders appoint the CEO via a vote to run the company.
>Not obtained through surplus value. See above. profit by definition is surplus value. You're making money off the labour of other people. Paying them a wage doesn't change that because if you are turning a profit after paying a wage to your workers, you are making money off your workers.
Isaiah Phillips
There actually are some high skill areas of the economy which are often more or less run as worker's co-ops. For example many doctors and software developers work on their own, which makes sense considering how unfavorable it is for a highly skilled individual to work for a capitalist. Often times you only get around 20 % of what you produce. The reason why this hasn't spread to low skilled jobs is probably that they're very hard to do alone or in small groups, and low skilled workers don't have the initial capital.
Caleb King
>you're actually a "i'm the only one that understands how communism can be achieved and everyone else had it wrong because they had lesser reading skills" moron No, history moves independently of your own beliefs. The problem with historical communist movements hasn't been that their ideas were "wrong", but that their politics didn't represent the interests of the working class. The fundamental principle of Communism is the self-determination of the working class opposed to the interests of capital. Rather than driving this home, the bureaucracies that constituted the international communist movement took the side of nationalism rather than the international proletariat. Their ideas were "wrong" insofar as that "wrongness" was an expression of their shitty politics, not the other way around. The origin of shitty politics wasn't because they interpreted Marx wrong, it was a result of the fact they didn't represent the political interests of the working class.
Zachary Brown
>you're a "individual motivation is in no way biologically determined and the fuhrer can simply modify it towards exclusive social motivation" moron Dude there is even more individual incentive to labour in socialism than in capitalism. In capitalism, you don't even get anywhere close to the full value of the fruit of your labour. You just get a wage and your boss keeps the rest (profit). You are a boot licking Romanian classcuck.
Instead of wanting Tyrone to fuck your wife, you want Adrian Mutu (Romanian Chad) CEO to fuck your wife.
Gavin Phillips
>You don't make an economic transaction unless you value what you're getting as more than what you're giving. You are an idiot. Do you really think that consumers are the ones who set prices? Do you really think that if everyone in the world thought that cars were worth $1, business would sell them at a dollar?
>It's used to expand the business. Exactly. The only thing that the bosses do is take money and invest it into dead labor. They don’t do anything else. So then how do they make so much money compared to the actual workers? Because they take surplus labor for themselves. Not that hard to get.
>Dipshit. You don't have to work for an employer. It's not enforced by law The bourgeoisie ... lets him have the appearance of acting from a free choice, of making a contract with free, unconstrained consent, as a responsible agent who has attained his majority. Fine freedom, where the proletarian has no other choice than that of either accepting the conditions which the bourgeoisie offers him, or of starving, of freezing to death, of sleeping naked among the beasts of the forests!
Brayden Fisher
>self-determination of the working class see, that's where you're wrong kiddo, self determination is contingent on biologically determined neuroarchitecture evolved over millions of years as to integrate within hierarchical structures if you equalize everyone at the level of the working class, i.e. the lowest common denominator both in drive and intelligence then the smartest of them will instinctively form and situate themselves atop a new hierarchy as opposed to "representing the interests of the working class" you still get a hierarchy but, after killing all smart people, just a very shitty and doomed to fail hierarchy
but still, pretend like you can actually override human biology at a planetary scale, if everyone is equal, who bothers with coming up with new and exciting things like technology and why?
Daniel Morris
>Imma Schizophrenic gypsy that's been calling everyone else morons
Jaxon Cooper
I don't know how it's like in Finland. Typically with tech start-ups, the earlier you enter the company, the more socialist it is. The later you enter the company, the more capitalist it becomes. The founder gets lots of shares and a modest guaranteed salary. And the early employees all get stakes in the company with modest guaranteed salaries. But then once the company becomes successful and big, they offer larger guaranteed salaries but little to no shares.
Doctors own their own businesses. They tend to employ secretaries. So a doctor's office isn't like a co-op. Doctors are petit bourgeoisie (small business owners). Doctors offer a valuable skill though so I don't mind them getting paid. It's the executives, bankers, insurance companies, etc. who are the parasites. You need years of education to become a doctor. You don't need years of education to become a CEO. Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were all college drop-outs.
Logan Foster
i wasn't talking about incentive to labour but rather incentive to create the boss that gets the "rest" is the one that had the idea, that took the chance it will fail and that offered you the possibility to choose to not work for him if you have no wish to do so without the boss that had the idea for, let's say, the shitty capitalistic device you're typing your retarded conclusions on, then the worker wouldn't be working on shitty communication devices but rather would be working in a shoe factory if the boss didn't assume the risk, with his own money, that shitty devices like his might not be what the people want, which is a big risk, then the worker would be working, you guessed it, in a shoe factory

Communism is literally impossible to achieve, Marx had things so backwards that his solutions actually cause the problems he's trying to fix. Wealth in the hands of the many is done best through the free market, Wealth in the hands of the few, goes to the government through heavy taxation.
Communism can only come to pass in a post-scarcity society. Scarcity can never be eliminated, only shifted along to the next link in the production chain. If you boil down to the base elements, you are left with Energy, Space and Time. To enter a post-scarcity society, these three things need to be infinte, to sastisfy the limitless wants. There are countless reasons to why this is not possible.
Luke Miller
>self determination is contingent on biologically determined neuroarchitecture evolved over millions of years as to integrate within hierarchical structures
My man, the root of our ancestry within the apes would be something close to a gibbon where the social group is a pair bond
Ethan Mitchell
I said nothing of hierarchy. What I'm referring to is the assertion of the interests of labor opposed to capital. Class society isn't the result of a mere hierarchical division of labor, but an expression of a more fundamental economic movement of which the existing class hierarchy is but an expression of. Capitalists are representations of capital, while the proletariat are representations of wage-labor. The abolition of class distinctions wouldn't make everyone a proletarian, a wage-laborer, it would abolish the wage-labor and capital relation.
You're also assuming that intellectual production is a consequence of exploitation - that the production of culture is dependent upon the capacities of the elite. To a certain extent this correct, at least in current society, what is incorrect is the basis of this intellectual production, which is the organization of economic relations and not on innate characteristics of humanity as a specie. Under capitalism, only a small portion of society is given the material access of higher education, and the majority of consumption occurs in the upper-income brackets. What does this mean? That instead of a universal enlightenment, you only have a universal philistinism, an "enlightenment" dependent on a cultural production subsumed by the market. The material origin of "intellectual" culture is the culture industry; upper-class culture is the culture of consumerism.
While it is true our internal essence is defined physically, that physical reality is objectified by a social organization that exists alienated from our own individual physiology. You cannot ignore the process of this objectification, of how our physical existence is socially constituted.
Bentley Reyes
>the working class, i.e. the lowest common denominator both in drive and intelligence The working class will be much more educated though. Compare the knowledge of an average working class person on about any topic today with one in the Middle Ages; I'm sure they wouldn't have thought it possible that 99% of the population would even have been able to learn to read and write. I don't see why the same thread of increasingly educated working class people wouldn't continue as the economy and society develop further.

Tell him that to get the message across to the dumb proles so they'll actually listen, he needs to write it in story form. Everybody likes a good story, and the basic message of one is much easier to understand than some dry politico-economic theory, especially if you don't have a good education. Also tell him to aim this at young people. Get their hearts and minds when they are still forming and you will have them for life. Suggest that the hero is an ordinary person who is held down by the privileged incompetents he sees all around him, and who struggles to prove himself by learning all he can about self empowerment. He slowly gains a following of fellow outsiders who desire to change the world by displaying almost miraculous powers of drive and willpower, promising them that one day they will inherit the freedom to do everything they dream of, instead of being crushed by a soulless bureaucracy only interested in maintaining the status quo. Make the villian a slimy little shit who inherits his rich parents wealth in suspicious circumstances, and who's always whining about how unfair everything is, despite having plenty of money and an army of fawing sycophants.

> individual identity is socially negotiated with other members of your social group Social roles exist independently of your own personal identification. You assume social roles dependent on your actions, which are themselves dependent upon a system of interaction. Even if you argue in terms of identity, the much more fundamental question is how these social groups are constituted given that those groups are what grant identity to begin with (and not the individual).
>intellectual production is a consequence of the drive for it Look at the world physically - what is the material basis for our own culture? The idea that the production of culture is merely a consequence of a "drive" towards it ignores the economic basis of the material goods which facilitate culture. Regardless, the culture of capitalism is a disgusting consumerist culture that only encourages actual intellectual growth only insofar as this growth is profitable.
If you want to understand society, you have to understand it in social terms. Our physiology is objectified through our participation of society. Looking at our bodies and comparing them to the bodies of animals can be misleading if you don't contextualize our bodies within particular form of social organization. Social life originates from material life, but you cannot understand social life without understanding the process in which that social life emerges, how our physical existence is translated socially.

You do realize that life reproduction can be predicted and controlled with a pretty good precision? The failure to do so accounts for the ongoing demise of most Neoliberal capitalist societies, while the Communist state that does so is immune to such problems and is poised to assume the dominant position globally, and especially in Australia?

wages =/= profit You can't just invent definitions of profit at your whim.
If your employer pays you $14/hr to make products in his factory and he turns around and sells the products you made in that hour for $100 and the other expenses are say $20, then the total expenses would be $34 and the total revenue would be $100. The profit would then be $66. The employer is literally stealing $66 out of your pocket.

BTW, an insightful question in the screencap, I'd address it I guess. >Wealth in the hands of the many is done best through the free market Why is free market (lazies faire economic model) is non-existent globally, and all we have now is a mixed economy with varying degrees of planning and control, closely matching Lenin's Soviet New Economic Policy? Isn't it ironic that Free Market has lost the Free Market competition in the field of Economic systems entirely, yet Free Market fanatics like you seem to ignore it and repeat their idealistic mantras like "Wealth in the hands of the many is done best through the free market"?

Again, yet another Idealistic statement. We can never utilize a pure Capitalist (or pure anything) society just as well: Forced labour (slavery), Hired labour (capitalism), owned necessary labour (socialism), creative labour (communism) have always existed and always will exist. What matters is the dominant mode of production. Your arguement boils down to pedantry.
A communist post-scarsity society would look like that: Dominantly Communist Socialism for innovative scares fields. Capitalism for asocial elements with degraded Social Credit Scores. Slavery for criminal elements.
Henry Allen
Communism has never worked and never will. Capitalism being flawed is not an argument for capitalism. Anyone who supports communism supports barbarism, pseudo-science, primitivism, and decline. Capitalism has a proven track record of lifting man kind out of barbarism and primitivism. Capitalism is the thing that will get us to what communists have always tried to achieve and have always failed to achieve because they are subhuman retards. How ironic, capitalism will be the system that creates full automation, will make jobs obsolete, and create a post scarcity society. Communism can only create dysgenics, bread lines, and death. You are a dumb faggot and I hope that one day you hang yourself.
