You mean vs the oppression seen in communist Russia?

His prediction of globalization was correct. He gave the working class and leftist a path forward. Rather than bowing his head to the elite he offered a power up structure where no one had the right to another persons labor.

Really? Because the slaves who were often murdered extra-judicially in communist Russia were so much better off?
There is just as much right to offer and refuse to offer labor in a capitalist system as there is the right to profit from another.

He inspired real socialists in Chiapas to give rights and power back to the indigenous population.

Any time you are forced at the barrel of a gun to abandon culture, and can be extra-judicially murdered, you have no been given back any power. You've had it taken from you.

His work brought forth workers cooperatives like Mondragon, Kantega, and dozens in the Midwest to life letting people work for themselves for the first time in history.

People were always able to work for themselves. Its called a business licence. People were always able to form cooperatives. Those are called corporations.

Some accuse Marxism of death
|
Some?? How about ALL. Marxism being responsible for Communist Russia's death toll is unambiguous. Denial of that fact is equivalent to Holocaust denial x10, given the 10x death toll.

but all those deaths would need to be multipled 10 fold to even begin to compare to what Capitalism has brought.
|
How about
: "no". You can't imagine deaths to justify the murder of 100 million. That will never work. Moreover, capitalism has led to a living standard that the world has never seen, even for the poor here. There is no murder phenomenon in capitalis countries that comes close to the ideological and politically justified mass murders in Russia and China.

The USSR and the rest would have Made Marx roll over in his grave, he didn’t look towards authoritarianism but towards the Paris communes (which were not as reported in the American press).

No true Marxist, amirite??
Quote:

Building more than prosperity it built harmony. Taking from ancient cultures like Taoism to Zoroastrianism to Buddhism, Marx brought the power back into the hands of the individual and formed a world where masters are not needed to control the labor.

You could always work for yourself.

For Freedom, for egalitarianism, and for securing our Earth I salute you good sir.

You are saluting someone responsible for more mass murder and slave conditions in the 20th century than anyone else.

In this country there are still Many who want Capitalism and state authority to proceed all else, but these people are in the minority more and more.

Your sense of history as well as the modern US is deeply flawed. That usually occurs when we invite Asian immigrants here, who often take to extremes of thought.
See China's communist sperg-out where they murdered a healthy percentage of their population. See the entire Muslim world.
Here's a suggestion: when posting a link to a 4,000 word article, summarize it in two sentences. No one is going to trudge through 4,000 words in a communist rag.

Towns betrayed by both the state and the private industry are returning power into their own hands.

Betrayed? How? Industry changes and moves. Communism can't stop that.

RISE UP people, there is a new dawn for this country and for the world over.

Money is not earned from owning stocks or businesses, it is earned from production, and the helping of one man to another.

Is not making and selling "products" a business?
Value is produced in a wide variety of ways. Moving value has value, and is a legitimate way of making money. Financing land, tools, and providing knowledge and administration has value and is a legitimate way of making money. Providing services has value and is a legitimate way of making money.
You don't understand what money is, at its core, to start to describe your issues.
Quote:
To see the morning
Look above the horizon
See the oceans crashing far and wide
And never doubt that of what you see is but a reflection of the past
For the future, no matter how far, is on the horizon

Take another puff, cheech.

But together we are united. All of us in our communities, in our families, or here in CD. If we have the will for freedom as Marx called for then we can do the impossible.

You sound young, and the young were always naive enough to be talked into being executioners in Marx's name.

Both in peace and war people have struggled and yet one man has inspired the most downtrodden. May his 200th usher in an era of peace and harmony from east to west.

Your inability to provide enough value to finance your survival is not a revolutionary cause.
I used to feel somewhat sorry for you, and your cause in Iran but now I don't.
Asian revolutionaries have long been a major problem everywhere.
Hey, I have a question: If you are such an international globalist, then what does it matter if we depose the religious theocracy in Iran and even replace the people there?
After all, one worker is as good as another, right? Persians are entirely too tainted by Islam to be true Marxists. They should be replaced by better workers. And since you are the opposite of a nationalist, then it doesn't matte if we eradicate the people and the culture there and replace them with those that are more suitable. After all, the core philosophy of the Marxist is the production value of society. Like any machine. Not its spirit, culture, nor anything that would define one person or culture from another. What say you?
