when the automobile companies bought all the electric trolley companies and closed them. Afterward lobbying for roadbuilding so they could sell more cars was that marxism?
No that was capitalism...
Andrew Carnegie built a lot of public libraries was he a marxist?
That was capitalism and philanthropy.
have workers turned out to be not very effective managers and time after time ceded power to political thugs of the worst kind.
Not knowing what country you are referring to in this example makes it impossible to answer with any accuracy so I will counter with a question - isn't it likely, even probable that upon seeing weakness within a society, power is taken and not "ceded"...
Did US interference cause Castro to amass such enormous wealth?
A claim like that should be accompanied by evidence to support it.
all the good things you credit Marx with inventing were actually innovations of jewish thought that were later perverted by left-wing marxist authoritarianism!
There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't know where to start. First off, Marx's theories were not inventions, they were/are systems of governance - perhaps Jewish tradition was an influence, but something tells me it wasn't.
Leftist literally means / to quote myself:
the advocacy of or adherence to egalitarianism - the more left wing an ideology is, the more it opposes hierarchy and authority...
BUSTER... :)
Your point about ceding vs taken is a good one, the very weakness of utopian fantasies like marxism is one of their biggest faults. While leftist look at themselves as advocates of or adherents to egalitarianism - and think that the more left wing an ideology is, the more it opposes hierarchy and authority...
Everyone else views them as authoritarian enforcers of thoughtcrime.
Speaking of citing(and yes my castro claimed isn't proven) evidence where have you once cited evidence that Stalin,Mao,Ho Chi Minh, Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez were right-wing perverts?
How did they get it wrong?
By failing?
A quick aside, what forum were you proposing for debate?
You won't find a more egalitarian system of thought and governance than the jewish system and its descendants excluding of course the clerical-fascists(you know who you are!)
