Also: Saying "Fuck" and saying "F***" is exactly the same thing. Just because you mask it doesn't make it any different.

Actually, whoever programmed Samsung's speech to text or the AI that it uses automatically masks the vulgarity as I speak it. F*** s*** piss goddamn c*********. I guess I could go back and fix it but I like just talking instead of typing on my phone.

People that are not in your family are not family. We live in a world of limited resources and thus competition is inevitable. Humans naturally group together with those that share similar qualities, we create social hierarchies, and the masses follow leaders. You are defying reality and social science to believe in that nonsense. As others have pointed out, every single instance where Marxism was implemented has failed spectacularly.

As to China, it’s their own stated goal to supplant the United States & become the sole dominant superpower nation in the 21st century. I’m not just making this up, and there is universal bipartisan understanding of this fact in our government…

I took a look and found that Marx actually did work as a journalist, not to mention co-authoring the most important political work of the 19th century, and did leave something for his family after his death. So, that doesn't really fit with your claim and lots of people die penniless if you haven't noticed. Regardless of your attempt to smear him it's not surprising that the man who co-authored the critique of capitalism that influenced the world died with modest means.

True socialism has not taken hold, nor communism for that matter, but certain socialist policies absolutely have. Some Nordic countries do have high tax rates but free healthcare, education, pensions and more. Some South American countries have nationalized their natural resources to create welfare for the general population of the countries. I don't disagree with private property or making a profit... I just have an issue a system that allows individuals to hoard more resources then they could ever use in their entire life while other people go hungry.

As I have stated many times over the years I believe that the wealthiest among us are the ones who drive the division between the rest of us to perpetuate their positions at the top. American politics has been bought, Republican and Democrat, to benefit corporations and the wealthy 1%. Everyone in Congress is getting rich off the stock market. In this country corporations are considered people and money is free speech. Those people who are paying that money? They're getting what they want. Every goddamn thing there is. And that means less for everybody else.

The past does not make the future. We may have come from a place where there is division but we can move forward to a place where there is unity. Human kind needs to work together to battle against nature, disease and cancer, and ensure the survival of our species by reaching out from this rock. We are already stewards of the planet. We have already started to explore the solar system. We have conquered some diseases. We have some safety nets for people in need. It's a tiny portion of the population that says we can't because they just want more and more for themselves. The crazy thing is we allow it!

The wealthy Americans who have bought the politicians tell us that China is the enemy, and the leaders of China have probably told their people that Americans are the enemy too, but everybody's full of s***. The only ones who are are the ones who believe it.

And another note as I edit for speech to text tweeks.. let's talk about the defense / gun / weapon industry. It's in their interest for everyone to be at war. You know those rich m************ have bought and sold every politician that can get their hands on to keep their industry thriving.

On Marx, I could say a great deal in response but instead I prefer to point you to this video by Thomas Sowell so you may perhaps educate yourself:
https://youtu.be/-0iP1Rf-v-Q?si=goZyhLKIo4p5cUHJ

Of course you would say true socialism & communism have never been really tried before (paraphrasing). The South American countries you just mentioned are shit holes of oppression with substandard living conditions for the masses, just like it always is with those forms of government. How many more millions of people have to die from starvation or gulags before people like you finally understand the truth? Capitalism is responsible for lifting the majority of the world’s population out of extreme poverty. Most rich people accumulated their wealth by merit and those hyper-productive & talented individuals are rewarded for providing a great service or product to society.

The only way I see us truly organizing into a united global society is if we face an imminent threat of extinction from another source. I’m not talking about your BS climate change or Covid either. Think of the Terminator or Halo or Planet of the Apes type situation. Even then, there will always be haves vs have nots. That’s the nature of humanity. Now you can either try to fight that inevitability & bitch about why the rich man is keeping you down, or you can make the conscious decision to make the most of your life & climb the ladder of wealth accumulation / social status until you are satisfied. Be thankful you have that choice in America.

I checked into the video's statement that Marx borrowed money from his mother to buy arms for failed revolution attempts. There are ZERO citations for this anywhere. Thats when I stopped watching.

Its insidious bullshit mixed in with some of the truth to push an agenda. Without even looking it up I bet you the money behind this video comes from some billionaire funded lobbyist group.

I recommend you not watch any videos from whoever published this one. They are not being truthful which means they have ill intent. Its straight up manipulation, brother.

I'll give you my thoughts on capitalism and what its doing to humanity when I get some more time later today.

Guys I think Seran and Back could be the same person, or at least retarded cousins.
