"The name 'Moor 'was used by friends, colleagues, children and spouse. It refers to his dark complexion and colouring in the sense of the Moorish people." On Your Marx - Fun Facts, Questions, Answers, Information

He labeled himself 'the Moor'. Moor being a mixture of predominately African and Arab. Perhaps, he was racist against himself because people used labels to describe their heritage. In any manner, his policies were very pro white and black middle class folk uniting with each other against the Capitalist. That is a fact and not at all racist.
 
Chile's economy has been great since the 1970's the moment Pinochet came to power and started to employ libertarian free market principles and these economic policies continued until recently so nice try at deflection.

Very misleading statement considering that the quarter before that Venezuela had a 0% growth rate (its posted a negative or less than 1% GDP growth rate in 6 of the last 12 quarters) and that these stats which are coming from their central bank may not really be accurate either.

I see you only like the stats that you find. Carry on. :roll:
 
You could've saved a whole lot of bandwidth by just stating : Society did not advance pass the dictatorship of the proletariat.

That's the teacher coming out in me. Too many who evoke Marx in these discussions have no idea that a totalitarian government was built into the plan.

LOL look whose talking. I used the same source that you got your information from, I just looked at 12 quarters rather than cherry picked one which you did.

"The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way.. They must perish in the revolutionary holocaust"
-Karl Marx.


:lamo Karl Marx a racist? You ****ing kidding me?
 
so.... will we be racist in 200 years?

There will always be forms of prejudice...but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't continue to fight that particular human instinct. Just because something is an instinct (such as suspicion of the different, whatever that different may be) doesn't mean that it should be acceptable or allowable. There's lots of examples - if it were socially acceptable (as it has been in many cultures throughout human history), many and perhaps most men would be eager to take 13- or 14-year-old girls (or even younger) as wives. But in most of the world, this is no longer acceptable even though it's very much a matter of instinct.

So it is with prejudice and racism. Just because it's a matter of instinct doesn't mean that we shouldn't fight to end it.

prejudice is an human emotion...unless someone is violating a right, or threating the public in using prejudice....that human emotion can be exercised.
 
I guess since Newton was reputedly of a generally unpleasant disposition, the Laws of Motion never held true.

No, prejudice is NOT an emotion. One may feel certain emotions as a result of prejudice, but prejudice in and of itself is NOT an emotion. You don't have to take my word for it - look for yourself on lists of emotions. Maybe you can find such a list that says prejudice is an emotion, but I can find no such list.

What prejudice IS, is a kind of bias, a human tendency towards suspicion of the different, or a skewed perception of the different. Prejudice can shape and inform one's thinking, leading to certain emotions...but is certainly NOT itself an emotion.

In other words, you've decide on your excuse and nobody's going to change your mind. You're not going to do any objective research to see if what you think is right or wrong. All the world's psychologists and sociologists could tell you differently, and you'd still never change your mind about it...because to change your mind would force you to call into question your beliefs, and that's something you can never allow yourself to do.

You can go ahead and have the last word. I won't reply.

i am saying this.....that if a person actions, do not violate a natural right of another Citizen or threaten the health and safety of the public..then there is no victim, and the government has no authority to act......

government does no allow people to excise rights........only privileges.
