Usage extends beyond presence. If I’m using a hammer to build a house then it is in usage until the house is done.

For utilities (not tools of production) like said House, it is in usage until I decide to stop living there (move to another location). Two locations can’t be in usage at the same time.

Freedom is choice. Choosing to have material possesions for your exclusive use, isn't less free than not being able to own possessions exclusively.

Not when it is selectively given to you. Rewards for slavery is not freedom.

again you are wrong... I cut and planed the wood...I forged the iron...guess how....skill my father taught me...

you fascist/Marxists never can figure out COMPLETE FREEDOM of the individual...you yearn for robotic slaves



again you are wrong

marx was an idiot who did not analyze the big picture, and did not include human nature, or skills into his theory


skills, wants, desires, work ethic, family size or needs, disabilities (physical and/or mental), and human nature are all variables that marx didn't think about... his thoughts made humans to be robot slaves


Fred, Jim and Steve are all part of the community, and are all the same age and health, all single
Fred has the skill and desire to produce 100 widgets in 8 hours, but LIKES TO WORK 10-12 hours
Jim has the skill and desire to produce 80 widgets in 8 hours, and like to work only 8 hours
Steve has the skill and desire to produce only 60 widget in 8 hours, but only will work 4 hours per day

people within the community are not "paid" as there is no money , they are provided the "needs"

Fred WILL say "why am I only getting the same "'needs'" when I work harder, produce more in less time

THAT IS HUMAN NATURE


Marxism breeds mediocracy...the ONLY way Marxism can work would be to have 300 million robotic slaves...and you would STILL have the elite MASTERS to control.... Marxism/anarchism is about robotic slave control

Marx is not someone you understand. Freedom of production and control over self-sufficient production over mass production was the underlining philosophy for Marxism. He was against State or corporate control over the proletarians.

The things you say are just beyond response, its just plain wrong.

no you don't understand Marx and TIME

Marx was semi-right about the possibility of a proletarian revolution at that time , ...... the problem....it was only possible at that time
In the rise of Industrialization, the proletariat are the factory workers and at that time they were a majority.

today, the majority (of workers) is managers/office worker ....... completely different situation or time

today people make money just watching games or making videos on youtube....that CAN NOT happen with Marxism... ie no freedom to do what you want..slavery


He idiotically thought the defects of human condition was determined by social disparities secondary to economic relations and in absence of that all humans are good and behave well, he did not look at human nature, disabilities (physical, mental and learning), skills(yes skill and ability to learn and master a shill--not everyone is mechanicly inclined etc), work ethic and stamina (how fast and long I can work in a given day), family size (or needs, wants, desires)


I had a philosophy teacher named Mr. Kehoe, we debated for hours...I kept notes (this is from 40 years ago
Labor Theory of Value - Marx did not come up with LTV, but he used it as the proof that capitalists exploit the working class, since if the value of goods is 100% from labor, any profits earned by capitalists are exploitations.

This is the central thesis of Marxism. the problem is that LTV is wrong, it means Marxism has no foundation to stand on.

Greed - Marx identified capitalists as greedy, but didn't realize that in fact that everyone is greedy. This is the reason why he believed when workers overthrow the capitalists, they will create a virtuous society where greed disappears, which is obviously false.

Motivation - since Marx got greed wrong, it's no surprising that he also got its twin - motivation - wrong. In his view, everyone will have all the motivations in the world to do the right thing, and produce as much as needed for everyone to prosper, when in reality, if the reward is decoupled from the effort, people will stop putting in the effort. This is why capital-based society outproduces communist society until communist society also adopts capitalism.

He lived in a period of colonialism, and so was unable to imagine a world in which trade would be economically beneficial to a developing country rather than exploitative



.The writings of the Marx have lead to misery, decline, oppression and death wherever it has been tried
