I know you haven't, but thank you for the confirmation.
Why should I read anything by Friedman. I haven't read any books by Coulter either.
Somehow, you probably interpreted the OP as my open declaration that I'm a marxist?
He "preached" against the existing social and political order of things.
He "preached" that it could by achieved by means of a revolution which implies violence.
Therefore there are endless interpretations of the "philosophy of Marx".
You're right. Some people voice opinions that can be heard in any bar across the country.
Where did you learn about Marx? Did you read any on his writings?
Yes, I read Das Kapital all three volumes where he explains and criticizes capitalism.
And the Communist Manifesto where he lays out a plan how to destroy the current socioeconomic system and build a "worker's paradise".
except that transition was briefly attempted by gorbachev. problem is that in order to get to marx's communist ideal they had to pass through that socialist phase. to keep that socialist phase together they had to employ a police state with draconian enforcement.
gorbachev wanted to move towards socialism with a "human face". problem is that when he removed fear from a system which was glued together by fear, it all came apart
When I clicked on this link I was hoping to find stimulating debate discussing the pros and cons of Marxism, analysis of Leninism and the impact his take on the "Vanguard" had on the October Revolution. Perhaps even a discussion on the fatalism aspect of Marx's manifesto. Yet what I encountered was snide remarks and am embracement of ignorance. Who needs books when feelings suffice? To say I am dissappointed is an understatement. The responses to this thread played right into the OP' premise. Like I said, I know quite a few conservatives, and moderates who are familiar with Marxists theories, they obviously don't post on CD.
