I have never read mARX, but I always thought he advocated equal wealth for everybody. After listening to right wingers be right him all my life, that's my opinion of him. Why does the right wing despise him so much then? The right sure loves their socialism also. Their earned income tax credits and their tax deductions for reproducing... The women do need to unite and look after each other while we still have a democracy, because once we lose the democracy, they're going to be toast. The family unit and religion and capitalism produces a bunch of angry sociopaths. And the right calls Biden and extremist leftist liberal?
Marx and Adam Smith are best read with toothpicks holding your eyes open. Millions quote them, few have read them.
Marx was a proto libertarian. He advocated eliminating the middle class but favored a ruling class (capitalists were the bourgeoisie, financiers the ruling elite)
The USSR claimed to be Marxist (libertarian) and the Great Soviet Encyclopedia hailed Adam Smith as their inspiration.
Marx advocated a 100% gold standard. The USSR was on one, where a ruble was valued at .958 grams fine gold. Result a perpetual shortage of money, in fact trying to sneak rubles out of the country was a crime. Soviet customs inspectors zealously searched luggage for rubles, nothing else. Incoming luggage was searched for "subversive" books and documents.
The 100% gold standard resulted in permanent depression, with a surfeit of consumer goods, and queues for meat and bread. All disguised as necessary because of the cold war
Art 12 of the 1936 Soviet constitution says, in essence, if you don't work you don't eat.
Very libertarian, very capitalist. (Increase the supply of labor and you decrease a variable expense. labor.
Daddy Fred Koch, made his fortune building oil wells and refineries for Stalin in the 1930's and like Ayn Rand, actually fell in love with the real USSR, the libertarian USSR where wages are kept artificially low, leaving the corporation (and Lenin called the USSR state capitalism), and the gold standard.
Libertarianism is Marxist.
Marx was not advocating and equal distribution of wealth, but an equal distribution of power.
The idea in the 19th century was known as Levelers. As American as Alexander Hamilton, who believed in a society ruled by a ruling class of the wealthy, with a permanent, king like, President and all of the legislators and executive were to be selected by the ruling class of white, property owning males.
If we told the right wingers that mARX was more of a libertarian than a communist and that Jesus was more of a communist than a capitalist, the right would never believe us.
Of course not, they live in an echo chamber. I get called a lefty and a liberal all of time often with some crass adjectives, and they expect me to run and/or deny Because cowardly politicians do just that, and they are facilitated by a corporate media, which is allergic to any inhibitions as to running their corporations such as the squeeze the last bit of juice out of the orange,
It doesn't work on me. On Quora a fascist jerk, tried to silence me with "fillthy leftist" I took proud ownership and came back at him as a fascist jerk.
