"Working class" is a well defined social term. You are free to look it up.
I don't need to look it up. I spent the better part of my evenings in high school cleaning toilets to save money to purchase a house and pay for my educational expenses for when I started university.. I am the working class.
You on the other hand are nothing but a troll using soundbites because you seem to believe that dictators like Lenin are somehow 'cool'.
That, and the third world nations in Africa and parts of Asia where the people are exploited in sweatshops by foreign corporations, or thrown away in diamond mines for the sake of a few shiny rocks.
All of which you use.
Tell me, who makes your shoes? Do you check? Do you check who makes your clothes and check to make sure they are not using exploitation to save you a few bucks? How about your computer and phone? TV? The chocolates you probably consume? I could go on. I would guess you do none of those things. You see, you are a hypocrite. Tell me, how often to do you go out and help the homeless or those less fortunate than you? How much do you go out and act like a true Marxist and lobby for the "peasant class"? Seeing that you cannot even determine who or what constitutes the working class in today's society, I can already guess your answer.
I was actually referring to the current situation in Brazil.
So what do you do to help the people of Brazil? You know, actually help them and not use a soapbox to further your own aspirations? How many homeless children have you helped save or lobbied to save from death squads roaming the poor areas in Brazil?
But about the Queen, no matter how little land she owns, she should own none of it, and none of the fancy estates, or the millions of dollars of wealth. She doesn't deserve it. Monarchs are the result of feudal exploitation (leasing the land they claim to their vassals; while this doesn't happen today, her wealth is the result of it).
It is not for you to determine who should be wealthy and who deserves anything. Her subjects like her and love her as their Queen. They don't want to get rid of her. Or has that fact escaped you?
Are you trying to use dictator pejoratively? Because the word actually has a Roman origin, where it simply meant one who dictates...a leader. Yes, Lenin was a leader.
He was a dictator and a political opportunistic greedy fucker who allowed over 10 million people [peasants] to starve to death after he seized their land and their grain, leaving them none to survive on. He was a dictator with all the negative connotations attached to the term itself. A leader leads his/her people. He does not cause millions to die to cement his political position and leadership.
Nonsense; his revolution provided the peasant classes with health care, education, food, land, and opportunity.
The revolution he rushed back to force himself into the leadership role (yes, that's right, the movement was already underway and he saw a leadership vacuum and returned immediately) resulted in his ordering the deaths of millions through either direct slaughter or mass starvation of the peasant class to cement his role as the leader.. He did not provide them with opportunity. His revolution ensured that they could only ever be the 'peasant class'. He banned all opposition and any protest against his slaughterous regime and killed anyone who dared demand equal rights (yes, especially from the peasant class). His revolution not only cemented his leadership, he also ensured that the class system would remain in place and be more defined..
....which is why I want to fix the injustice....
By harping on an internet forum? Why don't you pur your words into practice and channel Ernesto and go out and actually see for yourself the deplorable situation of the native population of our home country? I am guessing you are American? Why don't you go out and onto the reservation and try to help them combat the rampant alcoholism and drug abuse? Actually do something worthwhile instead of being the hypocritical little snot you are currently being on this forum. You're all about 'rah rah communism rah rah'. You have no true idea of what the people want or their current social condition. You just dream of homocidal power like Lenin..
Nonsense; Marx was not a working class individual. He was very much a bourgeoisie individual, and yet he is lauded by fellow egalitarians; you don't have to come from poverty to fight it.
No one is claiming he was not what he was.
Marx was also very poor at one point.. He knew the very meaning of poverty. Tell me, how often have you wondered where your next meal would come from? How often have you seen your parents planting vegetables because it was the only way they could know where their next meal was going to come from? I have been there. You obviously have not. So yes, I sneer at little snots like yourself thinking 'rah rah revolution' when you know nothing about the human condition or human nature itself.
You don't know poverty today. You can only refer to poverty at the time of Marx...
1) Lenin did indeed see the need for proletariat uprising, if that is what you mean by "opportunist"
2) Lenin did indeed see the need for armed revolt, if that is what you mean by "warmonger"
Lenin was an opportunist because he saw the USSR as only being able to be led by him.. There was no vote or election to put him in place. He saw the opportunity and he grabbed it with both hands and committed a holocaust to cement his position there. When foreign aid workers begged to be allowed in to help the very peasants he was supposed to be saving, only to force them into starvation, he at first refused until millions had died. Then he allowed them in, but it was too late. He was a greedy fucking dictator who caused millions to die for his own power trip. Yes, he was an opportunist who unfortunately was not handed over to the "peasant class" for them to exact some form of revenge on him.
Actually, Lenin helped the peasants...like I said...about a hundred times now. Che and Lenin are both heroes, and in fact Che received aid from the Soviet Union.
Ernesto went out and physically tended to the masses, provided medical and other forms of care. Lenin sat upon his self made throne and ordered the deaths of millions. Ernesto ended up scoffing at the USSR for their hypocrisy.. I would suggest you go back and actually study what kind of man Ernesto was. He was a killer, but at no time did he order millions of the peasant class to die for power. Quite the contrary.
People don't have the right to choose to exploit others, i.e, capitalism.
Nor should anyone attempt to pervert the very notion of communism for power.
Actually, I am just adamant and firm in my belief in social justice, by any means necessary. I'm sorry that you believe in exploitation.
Right.. So tell me, where does 're-educating' the masses come into social justice?
You wouldn't understand social justice if it bit you on your backside, I'm afraid.
Right, let's keep religion around, y'know, the system which is responsible for some of the bloodiest wars, and worst oppressions.
And you think denying the "peasants" their religious beliefs and their culture is better? Do you know one of the biggest issues with the USSR was the fact that people were denied their basic human rights?
So was Marx; what's your point? I was saying that the majority of the educated during that time period were also the landowners, the ones that oppressed the peasant class. There were, of course, good educated people, too.
Lenin not only oppressed the peasants, he foced over 10 million of them to die of starvation and others were forced into labour camps..
Nonsense. Education is a fundamental right owed to every comrade. And that is what Lenin delivered.
To only select few. Others were left to starve to death or were killed.
You seem to have an almost personal grudge against Lenin, but I assure you, millions of fellow freedom fighters adore him. I frankly don't care about your asinine opinions about him.
I hold a grudge against anyone who slaughters millions for power. Call me strange.
And millions of "freedom fighters"? Heh! You mean there are millions out there who adore a mass murderer or millions out there who are dumb?
Then they do not believe in equality.
Which is their choice and their right.
You do not have the right to choose to exploit people.
Neither do you.
People who desire to exploit others and install or maintain feudal hierarchy are definitely in need of re-education
And people who murder millions of people for power deserve to be imprisoned for life without any chance of parole..
The same should apply for their fanboys.
I'm sorry you feel that way; but again, you do NOT have the right to exploit others. You can't vote for things like capitalism or monarchy; you don't have that right, you are not entitled to exploitation.
I have the right to vote as I choose to. You do not have the right to assume that anyone should be 're-educated' to think like you do.
You see, if you were a true communist, you would have gained some support. Alas you're nothing but a soundbite, and an uneducated one at that and yes, a troll.
