Is there anything more pathetic than Oriental Commies touting the lowest garbage excrement of European Jews? Like, it's not even your trash, it's our trash! And you were once a great civilization with a great literature.

so its safe to assume you read non of those books?

Dios mio. Why does China love Shakespeare more than any other English author, hombres?

>>15522352
lack of decent playwriting china so they just grab on to the perceived best

>>15522334
I literally took an entire class on the first one. I've read the others in part or in full. I can read German and Latin and I've read much of Marx's other works in the original. Try again Commie

>muh commies
yep i dont buy any of your post , you are just a polack shilling.
even if you dislike the ideology you cant possible deny that the marx was a good writer and made some pretty good economic prediction , and layout pretty well the problem with crisis in capitalism , all that commie ideology bullshit is subjective to the readers values.

>>15522380
i literaly never heard of 90% of those.
did he shill out or is there a good non-political book in there?

The General Theory of Employment Interest and Money is kind of like how The Communist Manifesto was to all of the major Communist countries to modern day statesmen.

Keynes himself was in the state. You probably owe a lot of what is in that book to what FDR did to ease the economy after the Great Depression.

There are some good ideas, but it’s simply a manual for how to ‘fix’ the economy during the modern day with an economic system that doesn’t logically make sense. I thought the book was okay, but you know Keynes is the pop music of economics.

>>15522395
Marx's predictions were actually almost entirely wrong. Following WW1, capitalist countries entered a time of extreme prosperity and surplus, and wages skyrocketed (until the end of Bretton-Woods). As for the "immiseration" of the workers that the promised would happen, well, we're still waiting. With our 35 hour work-weeks in current year.

Yeah, he got some things right, but only in the same way the Sybils also got some things right.

its taught in econ like its the holy grail of capitalism or somtehing.
>The Communist Manifesto was to all of the major Communist countries to modern day statesmen.
idk why the keep pushing the marxist-leninist stick , i mean xi doesnt lack self awarness he know the party and the country have very little in the ways of marxism

The reddit beast reveals itself

>>15522295
Yes. Especially the commie classics, probably mandatory reading for CCP government officials. Have to be well versed to properly pay lip service to the jewish religion that justifies your authoritarian rule

>>15522471
>Following WW1, capitalist countries entered a time of extreme prosperity and surplus, and wages skyrocketed
did you skip the part , where he mentions where capitalism enters its late stage before any change happens
>As for the "immiseration" of the workers that the promised would happen, well, we're still waiting. With our 35 hour work-weeks in current year.
last i checked most of the working population in a free market economy lives bellow these standarts and they fluctuate every time the system enters a crisis, do you think we will recover from every crisis until the end of times?
>Yeah, he got some things right, but only in the same way the Sybils also got some things right.
kek i just imagined marx in a toga making predictions

why dont you niggers just stay in your board? non-autistic people are talking here

Because Shakespeare is the greatest of English writers

>>15522295
this. he needs to hire Obama's publicist, because this shit isn't convincing whatsoever.

>>15522558
Huh? I'm not anti-semitic or anything. Communism is literally a jewish invented religion, like Christianity. What's controversial about that?

>>15522567
*blocks your path*
>>15522580
>because this shit isn't convincing whatsoever.
quite the oposite i would say ,just because is honnest about being a low iq a piece of shit the american people love him, atleast those who vote for him.
obama was a high iq piece of shit and once he got put of office its like he didnt exist , i mean is there any policie he made still exist?

>>15522580
It's books he's mentioned or quoted. He never claimed to have read them all. However it does show a good measure of literacy among the Chinese nomenklatura that he can quote so widely and expect to be understood

Why are german teens so cringey

>>15522617
I don’t know if you're serious, but if you are, (you’re wrong, and) it’s quite obvious why a communist nation would not love him.

>>15522670
he was a socialist trough and trough and i was just making the point that we has the best english writer to ever live, i can see why xi wouldnt recomend animal farm or 1984 for example

>>15522643
>secural politcal ideas/economic ideas arent religios
Just because it doesn't dangle a God and heaven beyond earth? It instead dangles a future heaven on earth. The perfect ends that can justify any present means. Even though there is no guarantee anyone will ever make good, or even try to, on that promise. Meanwhile you've gulaged and tiananmened a shitton of people for nothing

>>15522690
But he wasn’t the best English writer to ever live, that was Shakespeare.

>>15522617
Orwell will be long forgotten and Shakespeare will live evermore.

>>15522700
wtf is this mental gymnastics?Is this what the enlighten thinkers of pol belive?
it give a goal to strive toawards a goal that has to be built by people, they dont even have to be communists, it also offers a critic of the current system and a alternative religion dont do this you also dont have to read all of what marx said to agree with you just need to understand some concepts, unlike in any religion
A religion offers non of this they just say :follow our rules and tenents and you get X reward beacause god(s) said so.

>Meanwhile you've gulaged and tiananmened a shitton of people for nothing
i havent done any of that my firend no need to project

>>15522735
>>15522771
i guess that is why its called an opinion? also im not saying shakespeare as bad.
Most well know=/=best

>>15522777
You actually believe they are going to transition out of capitalism and into communism someday? That they'll give power from the state and the aristocrats to the hands of the people, even though right now the workers dont own the means of production in the slightest?

A mandatory feature of a potential future communist government is transparency - immunity to corruption and nepotism. Without which it becomes worse than capitalism.

Now take a look at the CCP's present behaviour and imagine that ideal ever coming about naturally

>>15522925
il answer with a question, do you think free market capitalism is going to be prepetual? if yes how will they keep avoiding ever growing crisis?if not then what will replace it?
if you look at hisotry its undeniable that rule has become more and more collective, firs chieftains ,then kigns and nobles, republics and now representaive full sufrage democracies , eventualy we will trastion to a more collective form of rule if that is communism like marxists envisioned, i dont know but it will be something out of "left wing"school of tought

>>15522784
Obviously most well known doesn't mean best.
Why do you call it opinion? So you can just be wrong about it?

>>15522962
In the forseeable future, yes most likely. Even though Trump used left-wing rhetoric than any Democrat, don't see populist Fascism winning out. The establishment has enough tools with surveillance, the addiction/distraction economy, and gerrymandering/MSM as it is.

What growing crises did you have in mind? Is inequality enough, or will the disorganised and demoralised millenial poor just put up or slowly kill themselves instead

>republics
Replaced the hereditary aristocracy of nobility with a more meritocratic one
>and now representaive full sufrage democracies
From being rich off of imperialism and winning world wars. But now that the one-sided arrangement is gone and you have to compete in the free market its not looking so good. Breton-woods worked against your imperial subjects, the trade war with china we'll have to see.

Simply put, you cant get off the capitalist rat race yet until you've finished winning it
