If you're going to criticize it you need to propose something better. Marxism demonstrably isn't it.

- Analemma_ 9y ago> If you're going to criticize it you need to propose something better. No, I don't. This is nonsense. "How should society be run" is an unfathomably complex problem, possibly the problem of our entire existence. Of course I don't have the complete answer. That does not preclude noticing the myriad problems with the current system, to suggest it does is a complete non sequitur. > Marxism demonstrably isn't it. Holy fallacy of the excluded middle, Batman! Where did I say I was a Marxist? I'm a confiscatory-tax-supporting democratic socialist who _agrees with you_ that Marxism was a disaster. But keep on trucking with your false dichotomy where you either love crony capitalism or you're a Marxist. It doesn't seem to be working on Millenials.
- Turing_Machine 9y ago> No, I don't. Yes, you do. Otherwise it's just whining. Illustration: I can't fly like Superman, even though it would be really, really cool if I could. It's a problem that makes my life less happy than it would otherwise be. The first option I have is figure out some way to make that possible, and advocate that society (or venture capitalists, or whoever) devote the resources necessary to make it happen. The second option, if the first ends in failure, is to conclude that it's not actually possible to do that, and just accept that fact and get on with my life. The third option is to spend all my time complaining about how "unfair" it is. The third option is called "whining".
