I want to punch Marx in the face for making Hillary Clinton

Sil, you simply ignored my post and looked for key words to respond to.
The post is about the logic he proposed of consuming per desire and producing per capacity, rather than consuming in accordance with merit.

Since you didn’t even read the OP, you will definitely pretend to not see the connection of his implied proposal of “no merit, infinite consumption” with Clinton.

Its curious how Liberalism is actually the same as brain death.
Save you self from it Sil-ly.

Oh, Cultural Marxism is a well established term, has been wildly used across the West for decades, but fake media now censors the term and actually posts fake wikipedia articles on it. W

Seeing all this edited on wiki now, realizing how even a guy like you can be so deceived, I think our society will not survive. It doesn’t deserve to. It has been electing and defending slave-traders for centuries, and now that it has selected the first non-slavetrading non-pedophile leader, it is about to blow itself up.

Oh well.

Better things come after.

This is truly astounding. Google has just deleted and altered everything on Cultural Marxism.
3 Years ago there ware thousands of articles on it, and the term was solidly accepted as a legitimate cultural movement, emphasizing the victims and downtrodden at the cost of others cultural dominance; a basic victim-philosophy, which has shaped all public discourse from the second half of the 70’s onward.

Now, all that comes up is “fake term”, “obscure Frankfurt school” (by far the most influential school of thought of the 20th century!) and “far right accusations”…

This civilization has come to a definitive end.
I guess my group forms the basis of what will grow from the ashes.

But then this is why I started my group.

:-k

Ok Im not angry.

Oh, I was assuming you’d go back and punch him when he was alive when I was talking about his reek.

Don’t use Google.

Id do it man. For all of us, Id take that stank on my knuckles. Hell yeah.
Id walk right up into that mouldy apparent he leeched in and break his nose. Or jaw. Or just my own hand because it’s probably very dark there and his head slippery with sweat.

Friends have been trying to tell me this but finally Google itself drives the point home.
But regardless of whether I am using it - there are millions or hundreds of millions of people who still believe that google is a search engine.

Yes.

Well, I didn’t ignore your post, I just responded to some bits that seemed fundamental to the rest of what you said but wrong according to my understanding. I’m sorry if that offends, considering you’ve put effort into what I didn’t address and the subject matter is obviously troubling you.

Though I’m not interested in the KT-style name-play with the “Sil-ly” quip and the haughty trashing of Liberals as brain-dead by the way, so I hope you won’t mind if I ignore little hiccups of that sort.
What I am interested in is whether or not I can learn anything and maybe even teach anything.

So what I gather is I shouldn’t be using Google or Wikipedia, coz they’ve been appropriated by Liberals. Ok, well I know Google has been re-programmed to only show you what it thinks you might (ought to?) be interested in, and Wikipedia literally can be re-written by people with an agenda, but I’m not aware of anything more than that. I still use them as a guide, though not gospel - I am a thinking man, not a sponge.
Frankly, I prefer to just go by my own experience and reason anyway, rather than quarrel over facts about who said that and who did what. I think you can figure out the important things from the ground up, without getting bogged down with the unreliability of second-hand resources. That’s what I like trying to do anyway.

I’d honestly never heard the term Cultural Marxism before recently, so with Wikipedia and the like confirming what I thought, that gave me no more grounds to be any more suspicious - but regardless of that, it really has nothing to do with what I know about Marx. I don’t know everything about Marx, but I’m pretty sure he wasn’t concerned with cultural matters, just economic ones.

But I gather that you’re trying to take the famous quote “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” and apply it to cultural attitudes anyway. Fair enough.

So to compare this quote with your interpretation of “consuming per desire and producing per capacity, rather than consuming in accordance with merit”, I am to understand that you see no issue in “translating” the term need to desire, and that you would rather the word “merit” was included in the quote instead of this.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his desires” ought to be “From each according to his ability, to each according to his merits”, yes?

Whether or not this relates to Hillary Clinton doesn’t interest me, she’s a political nobody now anyway, but perhaps you saw her as a figurehead for a larger movement that is taking your amended Marx quote to an extreme - something like “From each according to his ability, to each according to whatever he wants to consume without boundary and regardless of what they deserve”.

But this is all groundwork to try and align our respective points in light of any misunderstanding that may have occurred.

I now see a couple of issues that sound like something that you would expect to see on a philosophy board:
Q1: What is the difference between want and need?
Q2: What is merit and how is it/ought it to be determined economically?

To start with Q2, immediately we see a subjective term: “merit” and we run into problems when trying to make something objective out of it. But I believe this was the whole point behind Marx’s quote “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” - this is meant to be a subjectively preferable definition of merit.
Do what you can to the best of your abilities, so that it may be shared out in such a way that everybody gets at least some socially respectable measure that hopefully fulfills at least their basic needs, so long as it is economically possible to do this.

  • The shared-out part is what they “merit”, so long as they are doing what they can to the best of their abilities.
    Forget that Marx said it, since you are clearly emotional about what you associate with him(!) - is this not a fair representation of merit?

Q1: I think wants and needs can both be taken to extremes where wants can be infinite and needs can be next to nothing, so long as it keeps you alive in some basic way. But I think I have somewhat covered what these terms ought to imply in my above attempt at Q2: wants and needs ought to have social context. There is a certain acceptable minimum that everyone in a society ought to have just by virtue of living in that society, just because it’s well within the capability of that society to provide it. Yes, they should be answering to the call of “From each according to his ability”, but frankly when societies get so good at providing things that people need (like much of the West) it really doesn’t matter if some people don’t. It’s not like they aren’t looked down upon anyway, but they’re still humans and they live in a rich society that can easily pick up their slack. Before that enrages you beyond rationality (I hope I’m not too late) frankly I think our economy is better off without the shitty people providing stuff to you. If somebody is absolutely dead-set on not contributing, they’re going to provide crappy stuff in a crappy way and bring everyone else down while they do it. Like I said, Western societies can easily pick up their slack if you just let them go home.

The problem is that, in a society that has particularly good visibility of all the different lifestyles that are possible within it, and where the available information shows that as society gets better and better it’s providing for some people far more than others - this isn’t going to sit well. By far, the wants/needs of the wealthiest of the wealthy are visibly being catered for at increasingly higher rates to the point of obscenity. Relatively, the vast majority see little to no increase over time in having their wants and needs catered for - in some cases it’s a decrease over time. It’s possible to keep these increases aligned across all levels of wealth, in line with the ability of our economy to provide better and better, but this isn’t happening, and we can all see it.

Do the taunted vast majority not merit some fairness in this regard? Are they being baited into a state of envy to try and “motivate” them to actually reach the heights of the very most wealthy that they’ll never reach? I think the answer to the former is no, because economic improvement relies on all contributing people, the vast majority of whom are not being remunerated in line with their merit. They are the ones contributing the most to the increase in economic prosperity simply by their numbers. Just because the wealthiest of the wealthy own it all (some document somewhere has their name on it, so what?), doesn’t mean they’re collectively contributing to the same extent as others who are reaping considerably less proportionately. Needs and wants can and ought to be adjusted accordingly. The answer to the latter is very probably.

An interesting sideline is the new liberal’s meeting among whom the principals I believe are Clinton , some important benefactors Soros and others .

As far as Soros goes , he has been discredited since the Trump win particularly in his own country of origin , Hungary where in spite of his consiserable contribution , his name was removed as the name for a particular college.

The results of highly mercurial litmus tests and likewise reactions to what happens in US politics is significant in countries which have had communist led regimes for nearly 40 years.

The Internationale with regional power centers connecting to symbolic centers of unity of recent past , such existed in France, Italy, China, Cuba, and elsewhere were viable centers of political construct. In the US the onlythe only litmus test bearing significance in an undefined use of a non ideological constructions formed a blurry anti thesis , which took the form of national paranoia in the form of McCarty-ism.

Whether that line can be connected to Marx or derivative to more remote trains of thought is quizzical., especially the political motives of social progressive thought more inclined to be interpreted more in line with Thorstein Veblen, whose thoughts emanate toward a position of an economic theory separate from an ideological approach.
The Frankfurt School has application here , but more on the level of interpretation in-se.

If Clinton type liberal democracy is derivative of this. type of designation, as Marx. has sustained. with only a marginal and reactionary red herringed form of resistance to a global fear of global ideology.

Internal political justification, is only uses as a neo-Wilsonian type of reactionary pseudo socialism of the kind , to soothe rattled political nerves, well knowing the difference is minimal
That is not to imply and discredit any direct reductive thought bit to point to Veblen’s independently researched and applied evolutionary, social psychologically And ideological approach

Wether these ideas could be derived from only two out of three relevant sources becomes increasingly problematic as the intuitive and original strains of Veblein’s thought are factored in.

For the above I would coin Clinton a moderate liberal. Am I off?
.

Did he say desire or did he say need? There is a subtle difference between the two. Also, did he say produce as you can or did he say do anything you can? There is a subtle difference between the two just as well. Nonetheless, I agree it is unfair to give the same reward to people who are not equally productive.

Is the measure of fairness a subtle form of developmental progression of interpretation or a regressive trend to sustain a conventional defining measuring ?

In other words do conventional and regressive interpretations
are more pronounced as the gap between them narrows or widens within any temporal context? Are European and Anglo Saxon views habe a dynamic relationship where both are intereffected ?

Can these sort of questions be raised at all, to a more then negligible level? Or any kind of methodology fail in this kind of endeavor?
I think Your reasoning patents this kind of dynamic.

Whoever can give determines what has and what does not have merit. And they do so in relation to their needs. If what they need is a doctor then doctors have merit. And then, only a number of doctors. There may be a hundred doctors out there. If the one who can give only needs a dozen doctors only a dozen doctors will have merit. All others won’t. They may discriminate between better and worse doctors. Again, this would be in relation to their needs. Their needs establish the ideal doctor i.e. the exact kind of doctor they need. Doctors that are less than this ideal doctor would be considered worse and those that are closer to it would be considered better. Also, doctors that are far above this ideal would be considered equal to the ideal doctor even though they really are not. All of this would no doubt be disheartening to doctors who are just as good as those doctors that are selected by the one who can give; not to mention how disheartening it would be to doctors who are even better than the selected doctors. But that’s simply how things work in reality.

No need to press the point however in the case of hypoconsriasis, the difference becomes dubious as far as reliance on the idea of seeking out a perfect doctor. The choice narrows or widens corresponding to this absolute standard. The other extreme is less prone to perception.

There is more nuance here than either Marx or Clinton warrant. Marx brutishly destroyed the ancient cultural logic of merit, value, integrity, worth, work, results, reality, with an impressively anti-logical idiocy that has repeatedly brought us all on the brink of extinction.

Clinton is the epitome symptom of this cosmic evil. All her actions have had obscenely disastrous human losses as a result.

People that voted for Hillary C are even more karmically fucked than those that voted for Adolf H. After all AH had not yet killed and sold millions of people when he ran.

HRC actually ran on her genocidal accomplishments. And people love her. I say people but I wouldnt say humans.

Then Veblen broke down that illogic and therefore she revamped the presumptive paranoid defensiveness of the assumed utility of reacting against a global communism, which assumption was merely for effect.

That she knew this , which she must have, then probably she was as much involved in the national conspiracy to mask the larger international plan to de-ideologize the effort to cover an
early attempt to popularize the so called New World Order.
She knew it and the suggestion gaining some awareness that the difference between the remaining two factors in a social welfare state in the US’s two party system is deceptively over exaggerated.

Hi Sil. The term “cultural Marxism” has been around since the 1930’s. It was coined by those in the Frankfurt School but yep, you’re right. Marx focused on economic structures; he believed the working class would rise up against the ruling class if war broke out in Europe however, the opposite happened. The working class put on uniforms and went to war for their masters.

After Marx, his followers concluded that the reason the working class didn’t follow Marx’s theory was because the working class had been blinded by democracy and capitalism - so they set out to destroy them.

‘Cultural terrorism’ was the precursor to ‘cultural Marxism’. The ‘cultural terrorists’ set up in Frankfurt Germany and established what came to be known as the Frankfurt School in the early 1920’s. A decade later the Frankfurt School mixed Freud with Marx and created ‘cultural Marxism’. By that time, Germany was mired in depression, corruption and debauchery. Hitler was voted into power and the Marxists (mostly Jewish) fled to New York and set up their HQ in Columbia University (Obama’s old school :-" ) and set out to ‘liberate’ America from her oppressive traditional Christian values.

But the destruction of nationalism and traditional values isn’t just a left wing conspiracy. Far from it. The right wants a one-world trading system, a world bank, a single world currency, world-wide markets, free flow of labour and ultimately a world government, as well and because of this, we’ve seen the neo liberals and the neocons increasingly merge into one party.

In 2016 the corporatist neo-liberals under Hillary Clinton voted NOT to push for a $15 min wage, NOT to introduce a carbon tax, NOT to oppose fracking, NOT to oppose the TPP and the outsourcing of jobs and to continue the war in Syria. These are traditional Republican policies, not Democrat ones.

Ironically, Trump opposed the TPP, he opposed the outsourcing of jobs and opposed illegal immigration that took jobs from the American workers and kept wages low. He also opposed the escalating the war in Syrian and in less than a year, brought Obama/Clinton’s war to a close. Policies that help workers and oppose wars were traditional Democrat policies, not Republican ones.

My point? The Democrats and the Republicans are fundamentally the left wing and the right wing of the same bird – not an majestic eagle but a vulture. Yes, there are a few national issues like guns, abortion, healthcare etc they still retain but these don’t interfere with the aims of the globalists (at this stage) and besides, they need something other than corporate colours and logos to make them distinguishable from each other.

Behind the scenes, the ‘capitalists’ and Marxists work together.

Here’s an example. One of the first aims the cultural terrorists/cultural Marxists set out to do when they arrived in America was to infiltrate the minds of students. To do this the professors set about re-writing the text books from a Marxist perspective. The books on Marxism were written by Marxist professors but so too where the books on capitalism, free markets and history. In 1950’s the Reece Committee found that big capitalist foundations like the Carnegie, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations – set up as tax-exempt charities – were funding these pro-Marxist programs and publications.

Several years after The Reece Committee report, JFK gave a famous ‘secret societies’ speech. At the time reporters were fearful Kennedy’s administration would become more secretive and increase censorship. This was his response to the news organisations:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbPFCulfbQE[/youtube]

Today, organisations like the Council of Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission (set up by Rockefeller and friends) are leading the push towards one-world government ruled, of course, by the oligarchs and they make no secret of it. There’s a plethora of books written on the subject sometimes by the men in the inner circle themselves. On page 405 of ‘Memoirs’ by David Rockefeller, Rockefeller says:

The world is being Balkanized one country at a time. Nations like Iraq, Libya and Syria are being split into hostile tribes, ethnicities and religions that are perpetually at war with each other while Western nations are being Balkanized internally by Marxist ‘identity politics’, ‘critical theory’, ‘liberating tolerance’ (aka hate and violence against the opposition) and censorship through ‘political correctness’. The policy to force millions of ‘refugees’ who have no allegiance to America or her values into America (and the rest of the west), is just another tool in the destabilization of the nation state.

The politicians don’t give two shits about those who are homeless and suffering. If they did, they wouldn’t have spent the last two decades slaughtering millions of innocent people and decimating their countries.

The reason Trump and Putin are so hated by BOTH the left and the right is because they are proud nationalists who don’t support the fragmentation and destabilization of their respective countries so what better tactic to use against them than to claim Trump and Putin are CONSPIRING to destroy America – straight out of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals – a list of techniques and propaganda tactics for Marxists to use against his opponent.

What does Hillary have to do with this? Lots, but to finish off, her final university thesis was on Alinsky and his methods. Now keep that in mind when you read that she paid to have a fake Russian dossier compiled to insinuate Putin had compromising info on Trump (pissing prostitutes) and that Trump was Putin’s bitch.

PS: I’m going to be annoyed at myself for posting this because I don’t have time to follow up but so be it. If you want to follow up on anything here, research it.

Finally, not everything the left or the right have done has been evil. Initially the left did wonderful things for women, blacks, minorities, gays, the environment etc but they’ve lost their way. It’s the same with the right. If you’re going to live in a corrupt society then the capitalist one we live in is arguably the best. We live better now than the Kings and Queens did a hundred years ago or so, so we have to remember not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Drain the swamp but let’s keep the fish and the swans.

^^ Excellent post ^^. :sunglasses:

too I agree with most of your thoughts and as far as the Muller commission is concerned it is likely that the in an effort to avoid confrontation with the ex-Marxist countries there may have been a deal, behind closed doors, to albmoliate the ideological. differences between nationalist and.
Internationalist solutions to avoid a major cataclysm.

The deal of colluding may have saved the world. from unimaginable horror.

To counter any incidentary fallout from thinking along these lines, the deal also may have included the cooperative effort to defang North Korea.

The political charade may also be a cover-up hiding a bilateral party agreement serving as a smokescreen . and at this point Trump’s presidential future is viewed with total indifference by those in the know" deep state or any other. I think Trump is just as indifferent ill playing out this role knowing that he is protected by the underlying myth of the conspiratorial undertow.

It is not a fictional use of paranoia as in some Dickey type genre , nor an artistic Dali type innovative hyperlinks , but a political retrogression and conflation of factual and fictional political antithesis, missing in the actual national structural form of it in the U S , in the corresponding and emerging universal political stage.

It is a compensitory yet a shadow worrld where big players. like exclusive members only participate , I.e. the Club of Rome and the Bildenberg group.

If this argument is followed to its likely conclusion. and it’s likelihood surmised on an incrementally progressive anti derivative, then the usefulness of Marx is in line with the New World Order’s inception traced back to approximately at a congruent temporal structural ideological development, of the late 19 th century. A leading role was played by the futurist HG Wells, et.al. and correspondent to the era of declining influence of the British Empire. In fact it is no mere coincidence that Marx was a British subject as well.

So the shadow world consisted of both: dialectical materialism and its antithesis : the dialectical derivative of pure. categorical certainty.

Fantastic topic, thanks Jakob.

I’ll add some more in a moment, but first I wanted to point out that not only is the Gulag/Big Brother/Democrat machine using their newfound power in the age of the internet to alter history and the meaning of cultural Marxism, but they already also did the exact same thing to the history and cultural meaning of fascism. Do you recall when the dictionary definition of fascism changed overnight? It was a year or so ago, maybe two years ago.

Pay attention everyone, watch the world around you and other people. They are changing before your eyes. And never doubt that you already live in Winston’s 1984 “utopia”. All that can happen now is a further unwinding and refining of this logic that has already been put in place.

When people vote for Clontin and believe everything they hear from state propaganda media, when so-called progressive leftists organize into mobs to defend the government, when “reality is racist” (lol) as that meme suggests, when Trump is somehow actually seriously compared to Hitler… yeah. Things will only get more interesting from here on out.

“There seems to be a natural tendency for people to desire to collectivize (Styxhexenhammer called it a desire on the part of people to organize, which desire basically renders anarchism impossible) and there are various reasons for this. But whenever this tendency reaches an apex and takes over the general political will and thought of a society, that society starts to lose its ontic coherence.

An entity’s existence depends on its maintaining ontic coherence. This is also what we call self-valuing.

Collectivism, so called, only has a proper existence as the natural overflow of values from a strong, coherent self-valuing. A self-valuing will share its values with whatever falls within its broader values-sphere, with whatever it values. But obviously those values must exist, and that self-valuing must be free to share or not share those values. Values cannot be compelled from a self-valuing without distorting those values, cutting out their natural existentiality, and also not without seriously harming the self-valuing from which values are taken. Future valuing possibility is seriously undermined by values-theft, even if that theft produces a momentary increase in values-availability and ‘work’-effort.

Individualism is the philosophy that implicitly centers itself upon the fact of self-valuing. Collectivism is a name for various ideologies that are based the perversion of self-valuing in one form or another as theft of values.

Marx codified collectivist tendency within political application and sentiment, and attempted to use scientific-analytic/Hegelian methodology to reinvent economics in terms of the controlled and coordinated, “scientific” theft of values, which of course means the grinding down and eventual termination of self-valuing; remember that a self-valuing is always the source of a value, any value.

The economic model of scientific collectivism coupled with the freeing of the psychological constraints upon the natural impulse to desire to collectivize, led to humanity becoming infinitely malleable and able to be manipulated by applying a two-prong approach: 1) control their economic situation to produce values-theft and redefine this as “progress” and “production”, and 2) manipulate the public sentiment around moral issues in order to pervert thinking with shallow virtue politics and ‘wedge issues’, building upon existing cultural differences to produce distinct classes that can be pitted one against the others. The combination of 1 and 2 produces the modern political landscape. Almost no one can think past it.”

“A great irony is that the only real “social construct” is socialism itself, the whole edifice of social construction theory. This theory made up the idea of social construction because… that is precisely what it is itself.

So Marx tried to value himself in the shadow of Hegel, and ends upon appropriating Hegel’s Absolute Spirit into a false idea that society is entirely separate from biology, earth, and ‘hard realities’; that society-history is purely a fictional and arbitrary thing, therefore may partake of Hegelian universality, therefore any and all evasions and selective blindness to facts are justified to that end.”
