RE: Antifa Activities Labelled "Domestic Terrorist Violence" By Department Of Homeland Security - Mainstream Media Outlets Double-Down On Propaganda To Support Antifa Anyway
It's amazing how I can say all extremism is bad, freedom of speech is important, and these people are bullies, and the response I get from some 'friends' is, what are you, racist? Just shows how dug into their side some are. It's clear divide and conquer to me. (And I think you mean anti-private property. Marxists see all property as public)
dump those "friends"; they'll be the first ones to sell you out and wave you off to the happy camps
I'm trying to reason with as many as I can, because I would like to save them if possible. If they dump me first, which has happened, best wishes to them. No skin off my back, reacting emotionally to everything is a big part of the problem and the program of control, in my view.
I salute you for your efforts.
For my own part, my experience leads me to believe that you can not be reasonable with unreasonable people.
I hope you get better results than I have, b/c we are headed for a bad time
It'll be a challenging time for sure, but we'll come off much better for it in the end. Thanks for this post
My success rate in real life is damn near 0%.
You can't reason with those who aren't using reason.
Thank you, yes, that was an unfortunate typo.
Just wanted to bring your attention to it. Thanks for the great post.
[ You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society,
private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the
few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us,
therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose
existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.
In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is
just what we intend. ] -- Communist Manifesto (pg 23)
Here, Marx's reference to 'you' is the bourgeois.
I'm no communist, but I thought it might help to clarify that Marx's goal was more to do away with property owned by any select class of people than to call it 'public'. He wanted it in the hands of the lowest class (the proletariat), and in so doing destroy the bourgeois class and the very concept of a social hierarchy.
I find it ironic however, that he thought it best to do this by allowing the state to govern it. As if the state would not become its own class. How he lacked this foresight I'll never know.
