Nikelodeon 09-25-07, 03:53 PM He had a cool name. Zein Al-Abdeen 09-25-07, 03:55 PM He had a cool name :p what else? redarmy11 09-25-07, 03:57 PM One of the greatest men who ever lived. I shudder to think how the world would be without his influence. (It would be a sight bloody worse than it is already, in other words.) Baron Max 09-25-07, 06:28 PM What do you think about Karl Marx? Like most, if not all idealists, his ideals didn't and won't work in the reality of the world. Baron Max Orleander 09-25-07, 06:39 PM He had no understanding of human nature what so ever. nietzschefan 09-25-07, 06:43 PM Like most, if not all idealists, his ideals didn't and won't work in the reality of the world. Baron Max Ya but his Idea(l)s DID change the world. That pretty much puts a lot of what you say about philosophers to shit now don't it? original 09-25-07, 06:57 PM He looks like my dad... Baron Max 09-25-07, 07:04 PM Ya but his Idea(l)s DID change the world. That pretty much puts a lot of what you say about philosophers to shit now don't it? No, not really. I agree his ideals changed the world, but as we know now from history, it was changed for the worse! I ain't so sure I'd be proud of that if I were you. Baron Max Zein Al-Abdeen 09-25-07, 07:52 PM changed the world for the worst?!!! how is that? cosmictraveler 09-25-07, 08:20 PM He had no understanding of human nature what so ever. I agree 100 %. maxg 09-25-07, 08:20 PM He was an extremely influential thinker--one of the most influential of the 19th century. While he was certainly wrong about some things, he was also very perceptive about others. I think it's wrong to say he had no understanding of human nature--his analysis of the capitalist psyche is very perceptive--I think his problem arises more from believing his theories had a scientific basis and were not just "utopian" (a very derogatory adjective as far as Marx was concerned). cosmictraveler 09-25-07, 08:23 PM He was deluded with visions of utopia which just ain't possible with the greedy people we have in society today. Zein Al-Abdeen 09-25-07, 09:13 PM He was deluded with visions of utopia which just ain't possible with the greedy people we have in society today. that's it exactly, you have to change the society ways, so you can change the people. you can't say about anything that it is today like it was yesterday, that means it changes, so we have to understand the way that it changes, then find away to change it into a good thing. nietzschefan 09-25-07, 10:43 PM No, not really. I agree his ideals changed the world, but as we know now from history, it was changed for the worse! I ain't so sure I'd be proud of that if I were you. Baron Max Aww comon russians are pricks no matter what their government is like. He might have saved us all from the kazachuck. Zein Al-Abdeen 09-26-07, 03:53 PM hello racist, I think you liked Borrat? didn't ya? dude, racism is super weak, today you are up the next day you don't know wich hole you'll be living in, that's life, that doesn't mean russian are no good!! one_raven 09-26-07, 04:03 PM Karl was the funniest of the Marx Brothers. cosmictraveler 09-26-07, 05:48 PM Karl was the funniest of the Marx Brothers. Is he the one that was never seen but only heard from? Orleander 09-26-07, 06:09 PM Karl was the funniest of the Marx Brothers. :bravo::roflmao: |
