The same types of people saying we stole Indian land are the same ones that say land can't be owned. So which one is it, you fucking commies? It's preposterous to say that we ever stole from anyone, and honestly you could argue that the Indians stole the land from the animals that were previously there. That's what happens in the animal kingdom.

Leftists are always saying that land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought or sold. They don't believe in ownership of anything; that's why San Francisco liberals created apps like Uber and DoorDash and why the majority of millennials are renters. They want you to own nothing.

and that's where the violence and slavery comes in, because not everyone wants to be in the same collective or in a collective at all, but "the collective" has decided it owns everything and everyone

No, of course not. But communism is the great granddaddy of left wing ideology.

Private property refers to productive, capital assets: farmland, mines, factories, etc. - producing value by the exploitation of others' labour.
Personal property is your non-capital goods and items (your umbrella, your car, your hat, even your home).

Were you legitimately under the impression Marx was calling for the abolition of personal belongings? That's funny.
I'm no Marxist but, no, he didn't want to take your toothbrush. The explicit distinction came after the writings of Marx and Engels, sure, but there is no way to read Marx and think he opposed the very idea of "people owning things".

Yeah, except he literally said just that in Kommunistisches Manifest. No idea what type of fuckin shit blog, youtube video, or whatever the hell it is you're getting your info from, but you can read him saying exactly what you're saying he didn't in what he actually wrote.

No, he did not.
"You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths."
Do you think, here, that Marx thought 9/10ths of people were without personal belongings? lmfao

If you're asking if his arguments can be reduced to absurdity, then, yes, yes they can. How he managed to reconcile this all is a mystery and you would've had to have asked him. But he says loud in clear in the manifesto that he believes all property should be abolished. Don't shoot the messenger.

At no point did Marx or Engels suggest people ought not have personal belongings. If you got that from their writings, even suggesting you reread them would probably be a waste of time.

But when you take your personal property and transform it (using your labor) into something that produces a useful product, that specific case should give the state license to seize the property? Are you saying Marx was right... or just that we should understand what he wrote?

If I melt down my toothbrushes and razor blades for materials to build a 3D printer, would Marx suggest that property should go back to the state once it is capable of producing something?

If you equip your toothbrush with advanced, strong AI, such that it's capable of productive work, does it become a labourer? How can we hence define its relationship to capital? These are all important questions that I think only a reanimated Marx could answer.

You can just answer the question, based upon your knowledge of Marxist writing. It's an afternoon project to build a 3D printer. Let's start there instead of speculating about toothbrush chimera/golems

No, it wouldn't be seized. It's for your personal use and isn't being used to exploit the labour of others. If you were at the helm of a company with your 3D printer, decided to hire workers, and kept the lion's share of the profit, then yes, Marx would be arg.

Thank you for answering. So, if I scrape together all my toothbrush rations and build, say, 48 3D Printers and form my own profit sharing co-op to operate my excess printers... you think Marx would be cool with that?

I think Marx would be down with a profit-sharing cooperative, yes. Workers reaping the benefits of their labour was Marx's jam. Although his vision was the management of the entire economy by workers, not individual operations. But I'm sure he would approve, once you explained what a 3D printer was.

@previous (G) > Mit einem Wort, die Kommunisten unterstützen überall jede revolutionäre Bewegung gegen die bestehenden gesellschaftlichen und politischen Zustände.
Dieser Satz besagt, dass Kommunisten nach der marxistischen Ideologie jede revolutionäre Bewegung unterstützen, die sich gegen die aktuellen sozialen und politischen Bedingungen richtet. Revolutionäre Bewegungen könnten beinhalten, aber nicht beschränkt auf, Arbeiteraufstände, Proteste gegen ungleiche Vermögensverteilung oder politische Aufstände gegen autoritäre Regime, usw. etc. &c. whatever.
> In allen diesen Bewegungen heben sie die Eigenthumsfrage, welche mehr oder minder entwickelte Form sie auch angenommen haben möge, als die Grundfrage der Bewegung hervor.
Dieser Satz erklärt, dass Kommunisten in all diesen revolutionären Bewegungen die Frage des Eigentums hervorheben. Nach der marxistischen Theorie ist das Eigentum - insbesondere das Privateigentum an Produktionsmitteln - der zentrale Konfliktpunkt, der zu Klassenunterschieden und sozialer Ungleichheit führt. Unabhängig davon, wie diese Bewegungen genau aussehen, betrachten Kommunisten das Eigentum und seine Umverteilung als Kernproblem, das gelöst werden muss.
Privateigentum bezieht sich auf die Produktionsmittel, nicht auf persönliche Besitztümer. Your toothbrush is safe!
> Eigentumsfrage
I don't know where you copied this from, but it's Eigentumsfrage* (Eigentum, there is no "Eigenthum"). It's funny you didn't notice the misspelling of "property question", given the discussion.
Happy to help! Again, any further misunderstandings you have, hit me up, friendo. :)

In theory, yeah. In practice, in every single country it has been implemented (or at least attempted) not so much.
Absolut falsch. Der Satz besagt, dass nach der marxistischen Ideologie, oder sollte ich sagen, nach der marxistischen Theologie, ALLE revolutionären Bewegungen gegen die gegenwärtigen EIGENTUMSBEDINGUNGEN sind. Mit Betonung auf Eigentum. Alles. Die anderen Punkte, die Sie aufgelistet haben, sind ein Mittel zum Zweck und nicht mehr. Verwechseln Sie ein Beispiel nicht mit einer Regel. Das ist der Grund, warum ich ernsthaft glaube, dass Sie Autismus haben. Sie haben wenig Fähigkeit, abstrakt zu denken oder soziale Hinweise zu lesen. Ich habe das nicht nur in diesem Thread beobachtet, sondern in vielen.
> Privateigentum bezieht sich auf die Produktionsmittel, nicht auf persönliche Besitztümer. Your toothbrush is safe!
Privateigentum bezieht sich auf... Privateigentum. Nicht irgendetwas, von dem du denkst, dass es bedeutet. Nicht alles, was Sie brauchen, um Ihr wahnsinniges Argument zu stützen.

Your limited grasp of German is showing. It's a verbatim quote from the original text. Go back to German 101 and don't try to correct native speakers like Marx and I.

Also I see (viz the above prattle about toothbrushes) some confusion has crept into this argument - when I'm talking about property, I mean specifically property assets, i.e. things that have value to a certain degree of significance, like land, buildings, farms, and other types of development.
Of course toothbrushes, dildos and other personal belongings do not fall into this category.
