MARXISM VICTIM OF CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA

Lets start with excerpts from ccommunist manifesto:
the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.In all these movements they bring to the front, as the leading question in each, the property question, no matter what its degree of development at the time.
Communists labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians(working class) have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

So communist manifesto sounds not as publicized by capitalists. To understand the working of capitalist media read Noam Chomsky’s Media Control The Spectacular Achievements Of Propaganda and Manufacturing Consent.

Marx start a trend in philosophy: before Marx philosophers only analyzed society, they did not prescribe how society could be changed. Marx introduced revolutionary philosophy .And modern philosophers are following revolutionary ideas to devise a philosophy named critical theory.

Core concepts of critical theory are: (1) That critical social theory should be directed at the totality of society in its historical specificity (i.e. how it came to be configured at a specific point in time), and (2) That Critical Theory should improve understanding of society by integrating all the major social sciences, including economics, sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and psychology.

At last I want to mention a point regarding effect of socialism. At present once socialist Chinese Tycoons are less rich than their Indian counterparts. Its implication is in China resources are still well distributed than that in India. In India wealth is concentrated highly among few capitalist where in china wealth is better distributed among capitalist.

To have a good idea on modern version of Marxism u can read writings of Louis Pierre Althusser.

Lets finish with one of my favorite slogans:

WORKING MEN OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
