"...typical thinking has a thought and they just accept it as true; they don't go to the second step, which is to think about it critically... 10 fundamental axioms of the Communist Manifesto: (1) "History is to be viewed primarily as an economic class struggle." There are factors other than economics that relate to history or benefit from an examination of history. (2) Yes, within history are examples of hierarchical struggle. An issue here is that hierarchy goes deeper than that, into biology. For example, the existence of these same hierarchies in the animal kingdom shows the existence of hierarchy outside the structure of human societies. Evidence exists, at least as far back as the paleolithic times (pre-capitalism), showing the existence of hierarchy in human societies. Then why link this with capitalism? (3) There are far more ways humans struggle than purely economic. How about being at odds with nature, as in the struggle for "life in a cruel and harsh natural world"? No mention in the book of the positive elements that come from hierarchies, like, for example, being an efficient way to distribute resources. (4) Identity politics: Fragmentation of the properties/behaviors of any human can always reveal at least one way a person is an "oppressor". Uses Kulaks in Ukraine as an example. Classic group identity thinking like "The bouguise are evil and the proletariat are good" is binary, inaccurate, and assumptive in the extreme. An assumption that all evil can be attributed to one class, you could predict the bloody violent revolution and then dictatorship. Centralization and replacing the capitalists with proletariat. Assumption that the prols will not be corrupted by their sudden access to power because they are "good". All prols are not "good". (5) "What makes you think you can take any complex system, such as say capitalism, centralize it, and attain success?" (6) Profit. Marxist: profit is theft. Sure, profit *can* be theft but that doesn't mean it is always theft. Abstract labor (thought, management, etc) is ignored as being of value/contribution. How can you grow if you have no profit? Profit can be a useful constraint. It is not enough to have only a good idea, good sales & marketing plan, etc. Many factors are required to succeed and thus, limit wasted labor. The market punishes various forms of stupidity. (7) The end goal beginning with dictatorship of the prols, centralization, massive calculation (can't be done): somehow this will become magically productive. Once you eradicate the bourgese, somehow they become hyper-productive, which would be necessary. This is necessary so there are enough material goods for everyone across all dimensions. (8) So then people spontaneously engage in meaningful creative labor. So the Utopia will be magically ushered in. What about the differences between people and their preferences? Doschevsky hypothesized that if/when humans find perfect ease/abundance, we would initiate "creative destruction" just to have something to strive for. (9) The book admits: There has never been a system as effective at providing an excess of goods and services. How could Marx not ask himself, "Are there any ways this could go wrong?" Or how could he advocate for violence on such a scale and how this would not lead to a special form of hell?" (10) Marx thought that capitalism would bring inequality. Fact: No one has ever provided a system without inequality. While all other systems produce inequality, they don't produce the massive wealth that capitalism does. The poor are getting richer faster now (over the past 200 years and accelerating) than at any other time in the history of the world. On February, April 19, 2019, I debated Marxist philosopher Slavoj Zizek in Toronto, April 19 at the Sony Centre. I started with a critique of The Communist Manifesto, which is the central revolutionary document of the Marxist movement. Dr. Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher and professor at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, whose works on cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and, above all, for the purposes of our debate, Marxism, are world-renowned. The topic? Happiness: Marxism vs Capitalism.
