Horrible Site because:

-It's full of unreadable dense nonsense based on the stuff Snowstalker linked from it and
-The ideology it's about is so insanely f[inks]ing stupid, and no one but edgy teenagers believes in it today.

Freedom site for being an archive to the writings of just about any prominent Marxist thinker, and, again, Snowstalker is a terrible representative for anything regardless of what you think about the ideology itself.

But any "prominent Marxist thinker" promotes utter trash. Why should they be taken more seriously than Snowstalker. It's a horrible horrible ideology that has accomplished nothing good ever.

I put "freedom site" because, like Breitbart, it never fails to get me laughing.

As others here have said before, it's a great resource for people studying the ideology and even conservative academics cite it frequently in their writings.  Why should that be looked down on just because you disagree with the content?

     As far as Marxist thinkers go, I'm concerned about the sanity of someone reading any writers other than Marx himself.

The whole of social democracy is descended from Marxist thought.


Are you confusing Marxists.org with some crappy left rag like counterpunch?

Just because you're to dense to read it doesn't mean that it's "unreadable trash."

The issue is that he's familiar with marxists.org from the parts of it that Sagestalker liked.

It's a very useful repository of texts, many of which are of significant historical interest.

I think one of the problems with BRTD might be that he doesn't really comprehend the notion of history. He seems kind of stuck in the present and projecting it on every event, person or idea from the past.

To give just one example, marxists.org has this document on early Soviet contraception and abortion policy (from Protection of Women and Children in Soviet Russia by Alice Withrow Field), which I've seen cited academically in both pro-choice and pro-life contexts and have myself used as research for a work of fiction.

Here's the thing: OK maybe Snowstalker wasn't the best advocate for Marxism. So was TNF a better and more representative one?

Well if so then Marxism is totally worthless because TNF made my blood chill. That is one scary, dangerous lunatic guy. At least Snowstalker can be written off as just a dumb teenager wanting to be an edgelord.

So yeah, I can't see any value in Marxism.

As a right-winger, I have a natural kinship with an ideology based on strength of arms and contingent on the breakdown of society incurred by a group we might both call "liberals".

Here's a better question: why do you use Atlas posters to decide whether an ideology is right or not?

No. TNF just wanted Sweden with death squads.

It's more with judging it based on its advocates and the arguments people make for it and where besides Atlas do you find actual communists today

You're really not seeing the point. The thread you made is 'Opinion of marxists.org', not 'Opinion of Marxism'.
