That's true, I didn't think about it from that perspective. I don't think it's really a hatred of capitalism that fuels it - I think that's part of it though - there's a lot of things that are...

The internet also placates people who otherwise may be very pissed off and vocal about it. Instead of revolting, they're watching Netflix, endlessly scrolling through social media, or jerking off.

Perhaps I misunderstood you, I thought you were saying that their only "call to action" was that of calling for a "Dictatorship of the Proletariat". If you're suggesting that their only actionable...

I realize it wasn't an instruction manual - if it was, there wouldn't have been so many revolutionaries who ****ed it up. It presented a vision and served as a call to action. There are ideas in the...

And that's the rub, isn't it?

The ideas of Marx/Engels might work great for a small willing commune, but in practice across a large country, you need a lot of political will and a lot of guns to...

Eh, I don't know if I buy it, even in theory. If someone subscribes to every single prescription of Marx/Engels, but wants the state to do it, they're a right-winger?

I think the spectrum of...

Right - all I'm saying is that, though it may not be that in its utopian form as envisioned by Marx/Engels, authoritarianism can't be conveniently disassociated from the left by idealistic leftists....

I didn't know we needed a truce. We disagree on many things, and that's okay. But when I agree with you on something, I agree. I harbor no grudges.

As you put it, poor people/wage workers don't...
