Sir Karl Marx...

[henry quirk]

Historical Materialism

HA! Voodoo.

not sure...accurate about humans

Max was talkin' about a certain kind of human (or mebbe just 'one').

Don't give a flip what Fred was about.

women's hysterics...based upon...being beaten, abused and raped within and without the family

Shush...don't give them broads any more license than they already got.

knowledge claim

HA! The formality of it, the umph of it... ...I'd rather you just tell me to f*** myself than for me to have to deal with your 'knowledge claim' malarkey.

"Tsk, tsk, henry. Remember you are on air."

Pshaw! I was nice...only told him to get bent...coulda said 'go f*** yourself'.

OK Mr Nice Guy - play on ?

I think he has confirmed my analysis of his knowledge claim.

Perhaps he is playing hard to get? Or his learning was so long ago that he's forgotten?

BTW, did you catch Bettany?

No was it yesterday?

Connivin' Karl: some body shoulda shot that son of a bitch early on...never has a more diseased perspective led so many to the abatoir.

Mad Fred: stole his best ideas from Stirner (muckin' them up in the process)...the iconoclast who would be King.

Nose Candy Siggy: another son of a bitch who directed (directs) a whole whack of folks to the abatoir...him and L. Ron share a cell in Hell's basement.

He wasn't responsible for human nature. His ideas were new and radical at the time.

"Perhaps he is playing hard to get?"

Or mebbe, as I said yesterday, in another thread, I just don't give a flip about posting much any more...not enough time or interest...sure as shit not gonna write in-forum dissertations like some of you folks.

"He wasn't responsible for human nature. His ideas were new and radical at the time."

Which 'he' you talkin' about?

What can actually be expected from someone always toting around a shotgun?

Marx. Communism didn't work, but we still use some of its better ideas in enlightened societies today.

[henry quirk]

always toting

Nah, just once in a while.

OK, understood. You just wanna shout a little, then leave. That's a shame. To be clear, a dissertation is the last thing on my mind.

[henry quirk]

Communism's better ideas

Not a trick question, not a lead-in to insult: which ideas?

[henry quirk]

Marj,

You and me got way differing notions about what constitutes a 'shout'.

Not important. I wanted to hear more about the man, Marx. And how his idea came to be a game-changer. Guess I'll revisit the programme and listen with more than half an ear.

Your 'HA! Voodoo' wasn't exactly a whisper...or informative.

Can us Americans watch this somehow? If so, how, please? Thank you!
