It's a bad theory. It failed to predict history. Marx said that capitalism would not make the middle class prosperous and would not generate abundance. He was wrong. Capitalism succeeded beyond Marx's wildest dreams and society advanced from industrial factory economy to a services economy. Meanwhile every attempt at socialism failed to be sustainable and to generate as much prosperity as capitalism.

Don't trust. Think. Thinking solves all problems. Except the ones that can't be solved by thinking.

In order to implement Marx you're going to need a devilish Lenin-like character to ram it through. And that's where the real problems arise. Marxist don't appreciate this point enough because they are Utopians. Bakunin foresaw this problem 150 years ago. Bakunin predicted that the implemention of socialism/Marxism would turn into great evil. Read some Bakunin while you're at it.

Is there an age limit for thinking?

But Marxism was turned into an ideology regardless of what Marx wanted, and it is Marxism that I criticize, not Marx. I am less interested in Das Kapital or Marx and more interested in what today's self-labeled Marxists propose, such as Richard Wolff or Hassan Piker and other leftists like the DSA. Because it is they who will be implementing the policies, not the long dead Marx.

I think it's a Firefox update that broke it. My Firefox used to work before I updated.

Yeah, the quote splitting stopped working for me also a few days ago. I have no idea why. None of the site code has changed.

It should not be surprising. Marxism and socialism are bad and unworkable ideologies. However, the notion that material conditions are central to human survival and social organization is of course profoundly true. What Marxists call "material conditions" is already accounted for in my deeper and broader concept of SURVIVAL. When a Marxist says "material conditions" he really means SURVIVAL. Which of course is fundamental to our work. However, SURVIVAL goes far beyond material things. So my concept of SURVIVAL includes and transcends materialism. Which is of course necessary because Marxists are atheists and we are God. By the way, even though the author of that channel pushes socialists ideas, his videos are still very good in many respects, but his socialism is still wrong in the ultimate analysis. Remember: just because I share a video with you does not mean I endorse all the ideas within it, nor the author's worldview at large. I share lots of various perspectives and most of them have some problematic parts that I disagree with. It is very rare that I find a speaker who I perfectly agree with. Hell, I even disagree with my past self. So be careful not to assume that I fully endorse the stuff I share. I usually add extra commentary to stuff I share to point out the limitations I see in it. But just because it is limited doesn't mean I won't share it. I share lots of limited stuff because finding perfect stuff to share is too high a bar. I did not evolve on this topic. Two things can be true: 1) Material conditions are fundamental to politics. 2) Marxism is an unworkable and fallacious ideology. There are many facets to Marxism. Some of them are valid and some of them are not. Consider science as an example. I criticize science a lot, but obviously there are many parts of science that I agree with. Likewise with Marxism. There are things I might agree with Hitler on. That doesn't mean I am Nazi.

Because God loves EVERYTHING. The existence of evil just makes God's Love even deeper. If evil didn't exist God's Love would be less than infinite.

I don't know what that means.

Yes. It's a manner of speaking. What sees corruption is simply Infinite Consciousness. If you became infinitely conscious you would see all the corruption in the world. But you wouldn't judge it, since you are just seeing Yourself, and everything must be absolutely how it is.

Nooooooooooooo!!!

Corruption isn't something you will or don't. Corruption is just the logical consequence of less than infinite consciousness. Any being with less than infinite consciousness must be corrupt because you just don't have enough intelligence to do otherwise. It's not a judgement of you. God doesn't need to judge you. But God sees all your corruption. The only thing that can be pure is formless Infinity. Which is God. Which is death. So by being alive you are evil. What did you think? That you were a good guy? Haha! That's the biggest load of shit you sold yourself.

Not mandatory. That was just an example.

That is fine. Reading books has it's purpose. Every project requires some degree of theory. Don't feel guilty about reading some spiritual books. There's various ways to go about it. Just depends on your goals, values, abilities, and situation. You can do light forms of spirituality while you work mostly on your career/life purpose. Then you can ramp up into more hardcore forms as your career gets solidified and stabilized. Even people with a career can set aside a few weeks a year for hardcore retreats. Or not. It depends on what you're doing and how ambitious you wish to be. Don't feel guilty for working mostly on your career. That's legit and proper at your age. Everyone needs a carer.

How the hell am I supposed to know what Hungarian looks like?

I am done with this topic. @Emerald As a note for the future, I will not be indulging your desire for debate going forward. Have fun debating others, but I am not here to debate or win anything. That is a perversion of why I am here.

@ExploringReality Do not call them offensive names.

I have never tried to win arguments with you. That is something you are weirdly preoccupied with by your own admission. I just make points I feel are most important. I am not here to debate bro you. I try to make larger points than merely trans stuff because my point is that there are far more problems with the left than trans stuff. You want to narrow the discussion to trans stuff to avoid admitting the even deeper rot on the left because you just want to win, not to deal with difficult truths/errors within the leftist worldview. I did not dodge the trans issue. I addressed it directly. Weird gender ideology is a huge vibe problem for the left. It will remain a problem whether I say it or not. Me not saying it doesn't hide it. Every voter will know about it. You are not going to hide you way out of this issue.

I didn't even know it was Hungary, hehe.

Yes, of course. But optically the American right has co-opted the freedom frame. Leftists need to pass too many regulations to be the freedom party. It's hard to call yourself the freedom party when you want to take away guns, take away gas cars, regulate businesses a million ways, tax the hell out of people, force them into unions, force them into DEI, force vaccines, force globalism, force cancel culture.
