He didn't read shit other than Jung as evidenced by his horrific understanding of many different areas. Have you ever read his book? Reads like an essay a 12th grader would write for a final exam, just a rambling mess full of bad reasoning and inconsistencies. His whole hierarchy based on biology theory is laughable, as any biologist knows, and that's saying nothing of his understanding of philosophy.

Marx makes no ontological assertions, no epistemological assertions, no metaphysical assertions, no ethical assertions (or at least no reasoning whatsoever), and no aesthetic assertions.

Correct. To him this things are only interpretations of the world and he thought one didn't need to interpret it, but change it. Heidegger made fun of him for it: https://youtu.be/pkNhVF3JmCM
I think Marx is considered a philosopher because of concepts like alienation. He's status as a "philosopher" is obviously to be questioned.

By negating universals and, subsequently, class. Stirner saw all categories as fundamentally empty (including himself, the Unique is merely an identity built on emptiness) and all grand historical narratives as not describing him. He is not an idealist like some of his enemies would like to label him as. Rather, his philosophy is far closer to Nietzsche’s and the later postmodernists - Marx being an eternal modernist and thus antithetical to these later developments.

The people who say that shit are just posturing. The whole point of the manifesto was to condense the ideas down into something that could be read and understood by the working class.

>>18746107
Actually, you're right here, but for a really terrible reason. Engels, and Marx thought socialism was possible because utopian Christian communes in the United States were doing it - sharing property in common. People like Robert Owen, and Diggers, who often failed at making it work were the inspire of their economics. And you wonder why Marxism has been disaster. In Engel's piece, "The Communist Colonies" he fawns over these utopian schemes as real communism. I suggest anyone with a brain read these works, and you can see the utopian development of communism in action.

No he fucking wasn't - the man was development of utopian socialism. He literally took a utopian idea from Christians in the United States who held commmon property, and argued they failed because they didn't achieve state power, and use violence, to compete with the capitalsits. Marx was so retarded he argued the state should plan everything, and that this would solve the "anarchy of the market" - a system without price signals or market competition.

I got in to Peterson via his biblical lectures, and that cultivated a genuine interest in the Bible and what it had to say, but Peterson had already collapsed in on himself, along with his entire life, by the time I found out about them. Which no sign such things would ever continue. I've since forged past it on my own, and the further I go the more I see the holes in his work and ideas. I'm thankful to him for sparking a genuine interest in old ideas and values and their worth, but I have to wonder about his own unsaid values. He has refused adamantly to share his own thoughts on God as anything other than a metaphor in his work, but I have a big suspicion he considers the entire prospect a series of well crafted metaphors and nothing else. Which is fine for the OT, but once you read NT it takes on a.. very different tone... and it's lessons can no longer be taken at a metaphorical level only and remain useful.

I've since moved on to much more blatantly Christian thinkers that provide a clearer view of things than Peterson ever did.

I've checked on his channel recently and the guy looks like a ghost. He also only.. paraphrases the things I've already heard him say but now in much cheaper forms. His work has useful bits and pieces, but it's very far from complete.

How? Max Stirner claimed in the Unique and Its Property that communism would result in horrific dictatorship, and that communism would ultimately be a sham. He was right - and he wrote this before Marx even wrote the Manifesto. Stirner claimed the world would be moving towards nihilistic consumerism, not communism, and he was right also. You see, Stirner's predictions turned out to be correct. None of Marxs were though.

Like what? What was Marx correct about? Marx, the idiot, though the United States would collapse if slavery was abolished. Marx, the idiot, actually thought that communism was possible in Russia due to the existence of the Russian Mir - communes (they weren't even communistic in the slightest). Marx's prediction about communism being more likely capitalist countries - also extremely wrong. Labor theory of value? Completely wrong and rejected. Planned economy? Rejected by the complete collapse of the Warsaw Pact. There was not a single thing Marx got right.

Heidegger simply lies. Marx says only interpreting is not enough, we need both interpretation AND change, theory AND praxis. this of course is why universities have become a clown parliament, but that's another story.

It is though. Maps of Meaning is just as poorly written, and he's not the first author on any of those high-reach academic articles, so it's unclear what contribution he made.

>call them a nonce
in your analogy, Peterson doesn't just call Marx a name. He builds his career on a claim to a deep understanding of the 'nonces' work and how it has reappeared in different forms, while only having read the pamphlet
