Marx isn't the only one with marxist ideas.
But whence they come doesn't matter.
They're bad ideas.
Kant didn't have Marxist ideas. You'd know this if you read the philosophers themselves and not just stories that are based on them.
Never having run a business allows one to
live in a fantasy land wherein whatever goofy
notion one believes will succeed spectacularly,
eg, pay each worker what they need because
productivity can't be measured.
Starting a business with such notions would
be quickly cured by reality...hopefully before
bankruptcy.
Paying livable wages HAS beem successfully implemented in many countries. It is an American trait, I've noticed, to claim thing others are doing and have done just can't be done without it upending business and society as we know it.

I never said that he did.
I've no opinion of him or his work.
You'd know this if you read posts carefully.

Sure.

Because I can't possibly know what it's like unless I've physically done it.


If that were the case, our species would have died out long ago.
Let's just say that running a business is an eye opener.
Reality sorts ideas into good & bad.

I only joked that your posts sounded like the infamous Marx quote.
"Communist"? I wouldn't even know that about you.
But at your suggestion, I'd venture "socialist".

Your trick is that good and bad are relative when you need that and universal when you need that for how a good system works. It is that simple. Your bias is the correct version of moral relativism. ;)

Yeah, that is your bias. I have a different one. But yours is the good system and mine the evil one, right?

No trick at all.
Some ideas work better than others.
Paying workers based on their need instead of productivity is bonkers.

Some are better than others.

That is no possible with moral relativism. They are better to you and worse to me or in reverse in some cases. They are neither better or worse in themselves. They are always relative to someone.
That is your trick, you play a game of contradiction so you can switch between universally good and relatively good as it suits you.

To whom? And do you have any evidence for that? Or can you even do it rationally?
Have you any evidence for your questions?
They're objectively subjective in their presumptive assumptions.
I demand that I may or may not be Revoltingest!
