Ah I see.
Thank you for explaining.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;21433189]Marx believed in power to the people, and equality for all, not public executions and fear tactics.[/QUOTE]
As did Lenin. However, when an assassination attempt occured, he and the White Army both enacted massacres, dubbed the "Red Terror" and "White Terror". Wasn't until an assassination attempt that Lenin started executing on that scale.

He put his beard on his food and it acted as tendrils and brought the food to his mouth.

Ok then, in a nutshell, tell me what Marxism is.

It's basically just about giving the working class what they deserve.

[QUOTE=Eudoxia;21432071]You won't get past the four-hour-long speech, even if you try.
Fun fact: Ayn Rand encouraged her followers to smoke because she said the studies saying smoking caused cancer were communist lies. Bitch was hardcore.[/QUOTE]
It was only ~53 pages. And it basically summed up the entire book's philosophy for you.
The best part? Her stay in Atlantis. My other friend who was reading A.S. and I theorized that [sp]Danneskjöld, D'Anconia, and Galt were the three students of Stadler[/sp] that were building [sp]Atlantis,[/sp] when we were only around the first few hundred pages.

[QUOTE]5.1 How long would John Galt's speech last if it was actually read aloud?
According to what Galt says later in the book, his speech supposedly lasted three hours. Contemporary audio recordings of the text confirm that this is the approximate time for reading the speech aloud.[/QUOTE]
Ayn Rand is literally a super-villain in a video game.
Marx also disliked anarchists. Fun fact.

everything i believe in rides on the answer to this question
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21436679]Marx's mentor at Berlin U was an anarchist. fun fact[/QUOTE]
Until they became distanced from each other as marx got older and developed marxist theory, and his dislike of anarchists. Bruno kinda fell out of the picture pretty early on.
Another fun fact. The key to Marxist theory, the labor theory of value, was not an invention of Marx. It was an invention of Adam Smith.
[QUOTE=SamPerson123;21436794]Well, duh. Marxism and anarchy are complete opposites.[/QUOTE]
Not at all, really. They're very closely related, which is why anarchists and communists tend to work together.

Mercantilism.
Also, according to Das Kapital by Karl Marx, he believed that the workers would own the businesses. Not the government, at least based on what I understand.
He was basically arguing for an employee owned business the whole time, and nowadays people equate communism to the government running everything. That's more like Sovietism?
In socialism, workers make up the state that owns the MoP. No, he wasn't arguing for employee owned businesses, as that would divide the working class and wouldn't further the goals of socialism.
Business denotes a whole range of things that do not exist in socialism. It's not really good word to use. Just saying.
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21434492]Well how is it possible to live as a communist in a capitalist society? it's impossible to practice communism successfully for a long period of time with pricks like you around.

So they deserve to have things they haven't worked for?
The way communism was supposed to take control was horrible, taking property away from people who have worked for that property.
In other words: COMMUNISM IS JEALOUSY
Also collectives didn't work because why should we work just for what we need, people naturally want more

Look, Communism isn't just something you spring for, communism is an inevitable stage in social evolution. It will happen. eventually.

If you don't mind having half of your money being taken away.
Holy Crap, people in this thread are stupid. I'm here by calling a ban on all communist threads by the communist committee of facepunch. We must allocate our resources.
Proboards, you've disappointed me.
