>An unironically socialist board exists

How do these faggots not know that their Marxist theories have been debunked?

Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Ludwig von Mises, F.A. Hayek, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, and Murray N. Rothbard literally fucked Marx's shit up.

The impossibility of rational economic calculation in the socialist commonwealth, where the State’s fiat pricing mechanism can never effectively guide the allocation of scarce resources to their most efficient and valuable lines of production in a rapidly-changing world; the errors inherent in Marx’s labor theory of value (which Marx originally adopted from Adam Smith and David Ricardo); the flaws embedded in Das Kapital’s theory of surplus value in its first volume, which is flatly contradicted by the presentation of subjective exchange values in the third; and the way in which the tentative theory of capitalist exploitation arises out of the foregoing tangle of fallacies, predicating the ubiquitous “class conflict” dogma of Marxian hermeneutics.

I suppose you'd have to ignore all of this to somehow still be a Marxist. I've noticed most Marxist have taken to a more Lacanian approach to things but at the end of the day it's still the same garbage.

How do they not know?

They decided that if they cannot indict capitalism on rational or economic grounds, then they can shift the argument to an emotional or subjective playing field and just say they win. Frustratingly enough, it works, so of course they're going to keep doing it.

I'm serious. Marx very early on said that no critiques of his economic theories counted because he had determined anyone who critiqued him would be a "bourgeois" who was just trying to continue exploiting the proles. Meanwhile, Marx was rich as fuck in his upbringing and hardly worked a proletarian job, and was certainly not a prole, but he determined that he had a "proletarian soul" of sorts because of his rightthinking.

It pissed Mises off to no end. I remember him trashing Marx for this over and over again in Theory and History.

Didn't he die in poverty?

>It pissed Mises off to no end.

Marx just labeling anyone who disagreed with him a capitalist oppressor? I could see why.

Isn't it funny how most Marxist forums turn into one big hugbox? Seeing how Marxism is a mental disorder, maybe this translates well into the modern day.

No idea if Marx died in poverty, but he didn't live his life as a member of the working class. He was very reliant on his mediocre publishing business and his friend Engels for cash, so it's possible.

Marxism has hugbox built into it. You need to determine the proletarian character of a person; essentially you must be Thoth weighing a human's heart to see if they get to paradise, and your only criteria is if they agree with you. All other people can be dismissed as uninformed, brainwashed, or evil. Those who resist are uninformed. Those who disagree are brainwashed. And those who work against you are evil.

If you declare the current state of affairs an evil plot by unseen schemers, it's very easy to see how you can lose your grasp on reality and decide who is good or evil based on how much they agree or disagree with you. It's easy to see how the jump was made from evil capitalists to evil Jews in the 1930s, and how the Nazis viewed communists as their biggest ideological competitor - they were competing for the same market, people who would buy into a global conspiracy to explain their problems. If you accepted the logic of the first, the second was only a small leap to make from that.

>Here's the deal: ancaps lack an understanding of the vast majority of historical anarchist thought, and so try to appropriate the term 'anarchism' to describe their philosophy which is decidedly not anarchist.

Most anarchists I've met are fucking idiots, so I don't actually think they understand what . For one, they hang around with marxists. For another, they are incapable of defining their own terms. It took me more than a year to find an anarchist who could describe to me the difference between private and personal property AND why they mattered, without ever resorting to "exploitation", "means of production" or "classes".

>The ones who do have started using 'voluntaryist' to describe themselves, which is a great example of using information density to mislead, but that's a whole separate rant.

If the term "voluntaryist" conveys so much information that Steve Klabnik is misled by it, then Klabnik is an idiot, plain and simple.

>So while academics and Marxists seem aware of the anarchist opposition to the state, they usually fail to grasp the anarchist critique applies to all other authoritarian social institutions and how it fits into the overall anarchist analysis and struggle. They seem to think the anarchist condemnation of capitalist private property, patriarchy and so forth are somehow superfluous additions rather than a logical position which reflects the core of anarchism.

>patriarchy

And this is another thing I don't get: Why the fuck do anarchists say bullshit like that as if feminism was somehow a pillar of classical anarchism? Neither Proudhon nor Tucker ever gave much of a shit about getting rid of the patriarchy, at least not in the all-encompassing sense that this term has somehow acquired in recent times.

To sum it up, anarchists are fucking idiots these days and a disgrace to the great thinkers the early anarchists were.

Pick one, faggot.

Also, the Labor Theory of Value is correct. (And, this includes Adam Smith and Ricardo. In fact, Proudhon and various other socialists were already taking the Labor Theory of Value to it's conclusion before Marx came along.)

Also, negative liberty is a shit. (Along with positive liberty.) The liberty of the ancients or, republican liberty, is far superior to the liberal individualist definition of liberty.

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,

And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools, singing at night,

And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire,

Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one

Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,

If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,

Would scarcely know that we were gone.
