To give this guy credit, at least he didn't spend his whole blog post listing off the "10 planks" and thinking it was some neato discovery.

In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels lament the bygone days of feudal society

So, okay, I click this link and I read through it, completely dropping my hostile mentality and giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, looking for any wayward flecks of wisdom that mistakenly got caught in this guy's nonsense, and I find this.

This is what I get for trusting people.

He says he is going to read Capital next. I really hope it convinces him and he changes his blog to one of Marxist commentary and confuses his readers.

inb4 he posts a blog attacking a bunch of Marx's turns-of-phrase that he didn't get.

He allready did. Somewhere Marx is going all philosophically ("In Capitalism, the past rules over the present, in communism the pres.... blah blah")
The dude points to this as prove that communist have no logic and their 'leader' has falsely claimed to invent a time-machine.

Hmm, a guy with a blog who thinks he has the monopoly on truth. Yeah, I think I'm going to read attentively.

Karl Marx was a Ren Faire freak. Or is it freake?

The article is worthless. The author begins lying immediately, beginning with claims that the Communist Manifesto refers to "evil" capitalists (the word "evil" doesn't appear anywhere in the manifesto), the ridiculous claim that the manifesto says that capitalism should be replaced with "utopia", etc. He claims that the case for communism is based on the disappearance of "self-interest", whereas the actual case for communism is that the goal is in the interest of each worker. The article is nonsense from beginning to end. The author says one thing that is true: that Marx left the future form of collective control of the means of production "poorly defined."

Anyone that basis a criticism of socialism or is talking about it, and uses the word Evil Capitalists, or something of the sort I immediately dismiss, because they obviously miss the entire point, I stopped reading there too, if he's using terms like "evil" he obviously is missing the point.

He's not missing the point so much as his ideological devotions (which I can tell are quite right-wing) compel him to misread, misinterpret, and outright fabricate claims made by those he does not agree with prior to the fact. Whether this is done consciously or unconsciously, I don't know.

I have talked with many such people in the past, and not just in terms of politics, mind you. This happens with all sorts of subjects where there is a veneer of controversy. Often times, they are not worth debating with.

Not to mention the whole section in the second part of the manifesto where he mocks the expelled aristocracy for doing just that very thing.
