Re: Jews the greatest ethnic group in terms of accomplishments for mankind???
[QUOTE]Explain to me how what Marxist's "did in his name," is any different from what he would have wanted? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious. [/QUOTE]
Marx disapproved of the very idea of revolutionary leaders in his theoretical work. it was literally all or nothing. communism could not be forced upon masses that didn't want it. they had to rise up collectively, as in the literal 99%, seize the modes of production, and then tralalalala something would happen and all would be well. but from the getgo, as soon as 'party elites' were established to harness the folks and get 'em good and riled up, as soon as the red army was created to do the military leg work, actually f*ck it as soon as Lenin adopted Leninism... Marxism was sorta dropped from the occasion. Lenin was a violent revolutionary who put practise above theory. very different dudes.
in the end, his work is so theoretical that your question is difficult to answer even if i knew a lot more about marx, and while i know a little, i don't feel well versed enough to give you a well grounded answer. but from my understanding, he didn't exactly lay out the precise process by which groups of people in different countries would collectivize and eventually live communally by revolting against the onslaught of privately owned everything and shit. he just didn't write about that... probably because it's impossible to write about. the ideas that he's most famous for are cloudy, vague, dreamlike. he wasn't Nostradamus, not even close. maybe there was more than a little wishful thinking in his supposed prophecies. but again, now i'm just bullshitting. maybe heyhey can give you a more satisfactory answer, but honestly i doubt it... the question isn't very answerable.
sorry but that's the truth. you need to revise your conception of what Marx really thought before you start pondering questions to ask of people who disagree with you.

Let's not forget we did have 19 centuries before that lol (and a few more BC). Although 20th is where mankind advanced the furthest.
