"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down." Frederick Douglass

100% agree - when I was younger Marxist ideas seemed great and I never understood why they were bad - the ideas solely rests on the thought that everyone is capable of critical thought and a robotic altruistic nature, in essence it’s a fantasy world. As an adult it’s plain to see that “power corrupts absolutely” and so even if the ideas sounds nice in theory I’d argue this as a main reason on why it could never work

The thing is niggers and other brown minorities are pretty stupid and poor so communism would appeal to them. Also young people dont work and they have everything spoonfed to them by their parents.
