Happy birthday Karl Marx! Your 'workers of the world, unite' memo still terrifies billionaires, and your beard game remains undefeated. From exposing capitalism’s contradictions to inspiring movements that toppled empires, your ideas still hit harder than a picket line. In an era of gig-economy serfdom and AI-fueled alienation, your critique feels fresher than ever. So here’s to the man who proved theory isn’t just for textbooks, it’s a weapon.

Certainly most Conservatives do not know #Marx, but I recently listened to a video that explained that billionaires like Jeff Bezos read Marx, to anticipate crises and prevent labour from organizing. It said: "The ultimate irony of history is not that Marx's ideas failed to destroy capitalism, but that capitalism's elite have adopted them as a survival manual."

Capitalism is cursed - Karl Marx

Modern capitalist society with its relations of production, of exchange and property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells. (Karl Marx)

I disagree, @alxd

#Solarpunk is rooted in #anarchism, not in etatist #socialism. #Punk in the former GDR & current fossilist regimes of the left such as in #Venezuela or #SouthAfrica are making the point.

For Solarpunks, economic thinking did not stop with white males of the 18th or 19th century such as #Smith or #Marx. We are looking for a future with contemporary, dialogical & also female voices such as the great economist Elinor #Ostrom.

Hot Take: The fun thing with #Marx's predictions about the final stages of capitalism is that at any point in the last 100 or more years, pundits can rightly have claimed "see, we are now exactly in the situation that Marx was describing".

Using Marx like this is like believing that the end times are near, all the signs are present, the second coming is right around the corner.

@Radical_EgoCom

Now you're taking the debate back to the 1876 split of the First International. Centralists vs decentralists, stateist vs anarchist and which side of that fence you're on.

"Bakunin characterised Marx's ideas as authoritarian and argued that if a Marxist party came to power its leaders would end up as oppressive as the ruling class they had fought against"

If you want to get morbidly angry at the capitalist ruling class like I just did, read the 6th chapter of Karl Marx's "The Civil War in France": The Fall of Paris, as well as the whole thing since it's a really good book.

In #Marx' ersten Band von #DasKapital gibt es eine Passage, an die ich derzeit oft denken muss, weil schnell die ideologischen Stichwortgeber für aktuelle Prozesse benannt sind und umgekehrt als Kern des Übels identifiziert. Aber, jetzt Marx: »Es ist in der Tat viel leichter, durch Analyse den irdischen Kern der religiösen Nebelbildungen zu finden, als umgekehrt, aus den jedesmaligen wirklichen Lebensverhältnissen ihre verhimmelten Formen zu entwickeln. Die letztre ist die einzig materialistische und daher wissenschaftliche Methode.« (S. 393) Ich denke derzeit an Friedrich A. #Hayek und Milton #Friedman, Ludwig von #Mises bis Murray Newton #Rothbard oder Curtis Guy #Yarvin - alle werden genannt, wenn es um den Geist des #Projekt2025 geht oder was Musk herumtreibt. Das ist alles nicht falsch. Mit vielen Ausführungen legitimiert die #Trump-Administration und ihr Umfeld nicht nur, was sie tun, sondern sie erklären es damit auch, nicht nur Dritten, sondern auch sich selbst. 1/2
