    Thoughts?
    I bring with myself the idea of Communism, so that you may survive when law is lawless.

    Cause obviously what Marx wrote is holy scripture and everything he said was completely right.
    There are lots of arguments to have against Bolshevik censorship, some article by Marx, by itself, is not one of them.
    Is this resistance or a costume party?
    Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

    Marx was 24 years old when he wrote this. And there is nothing that contradicts the actions of Lenin.

    I think censorship is fucking stupid but "Marx said so" isn't a particularly good argument.

    I like criticism on Marx on this forum, but I'm afraid that by Stalin's and Lenin's advocates what they both said and did is completely holy. Some of that advocates recognize Marx as unequivocal person too. I hope that Marx's critics to what Lenin and Stalin have done will enforce them to think.

    But in fact there are lot arguments against censorship. But to devoted Marxist aren't Marx's words the best one?

    ^Yes, Marx's words are the best words after Rosa's, and she as well was against censorship.

    Marxists don't see whatever Marx wrote as thetruth. Just vecause Marx said something doesn't make it true.

    I think the point is to show this to show it to anti-communists. Karl Marx is seen as the father of communism, so something against censorship will help refute the claims that communism is authoritarian.

    Sure, but that doesn't make it an argument against whatever Bolsheviks did.
    Also this was written quite a few years before he really became a communist.

    Are you going to do anything else but troll?
    This is theory, go to chit-chat or say something that isn't just an idiotic one-liner.

    I can hardly consider RevLeft a serious board. But if my posts are offensive to you, then I'm sorry.
