You can’t “debunk” Marxism by skimming the Wikipedia page. You can’t expound on your infantile “critique” from a position of total ignorance.
Every time a liberal “debunks” Marxism it is, without fail, not a single exception, the exact same shit that was discredited 150 years ago. A lot of “Marx didn’t consider”s that he’s written entire essays on. They can’t come up with literally anything new, spewing the same shit over and over again like a broken record.
Are liberals allergic to academic honesty?
And no I am not German I stole the screenshot.
I’m pretty sure I can sum up this entire video:
“Inane rambling with fancy graphics and stock videos in the background while she describes things that happen capitalistly in capitalist nations and then says that is socialism. Followed up by vague gesturing in the direction of authoritarianism before smugly stating how it only works in theory. Doesn’t actually tackle a single socialist claim or argument except deliberately cherry picked examples plucked from their context and deliberately misrepresented. Presents communism as a “failure” due to not being instantly perfect. Reiterates the point about how it never works and encourages viewers to like and subscribe and leave a comment.”
Actually lol no I’m sad to say you’re far off, it was basically an extremely shitty anecdote about penicillin, she was literally recycling the microwave argument, i.e capitalism is successful because it allowed for mass production of things, and it just so happens some of these things were good.
She somehow avoided bad mouthing socialism, I guess because then it would obviously become a political argument who knows. But she did say “Capitalism got a bad rap because Marx said something about the industrial revolution but that is another story.” I kid you not.
to which the response is yes and socialism would allow for mass production to be done better and in more humane conditions
Ah yes, I probably should’ve figured a defence of capitalism would probably focus more on that sort of stuff. I can’t believe I was so wrong. Clearly communism has lead me astray, after all, under communism we would never had ifone or socks with Hogwarts houses on them. I can’t believe we’ve all missed this vital point that capitalism is good actually because stuff people need to survive is produced under it. Really a major flaw in communist theory really.
Marx famously upheld the power of the bourgeois class in shifting production to modernity away from outdated feudal systems.
I wouldn’t trust someone this academically dishonest and lazy to say anything about anything.
Yeah, always makes me suspicious of any “science” channels that talk about areas I don’t know about. If they shit the bed on the stuff I do know about, how wrong might they be on other topics? Pop history channels are the worst for this though, a physicists might still be good at explaining physics even if their politics is dogshit.
