Marx is nonsense, but as we've seen lately, nonsense turns out to be a powerful and dangerous thing. As with most powerful, dangerous things, it's much better to deal with it from a position of understanding, than from a position of ignorance or indifference.

Yes, but do you need to read every page of mein kampf to know that it’s bullshit?

i say let psychiatrists and cult researchers do the job of figuring out why those ideas take off, and let’s hide those silly books from mass access

Hiding ideas has never worked. It's crack to disestablishmentarians who view it as "they're hiding the truth!"

Knowing something is bullshit doesn't translate into being able to effectively refute the thing because telling someone that the thing is bullshit is unconvincing.

I will prove it now in situ. Your take is bullshit. See, failed to change your mind.

[aristofun]

I know my take is bullshit, lol.

I don’t have time nor energy to craft a perfect comment with evidence and good reasoning, many people smarter than me have done it multiple times (and many millions have died proving Marxism wrong).

You can waste whole life and arguing with idiots about stupid ideas, not my cup of tea )

[kelseyfrog]

So why have a take you know is bullshit?

[aristofun]

To show others that there are plenty of people who don’t buy this marxist crap, and to shame original comment for spreading nonsense
