    Why? Borders are imaginary.

    Marx knew that.

        Mmm, I recognise you. Pretty sure you are.

        But sure: Borders are imaginary. True, yes? Then why does crossing them change whether an action is right or wrong.

        Am I wrong? You definitely can’t see or touch them.

        The USSR also initiated a few invasions.

          Not only are you wrong, but you’re also exposing yourself as not having any capacity for critical thought. If you bothered actually reading Marx, then you’d know that he never argued for abolishing the state under current conditions. You’re like a chat bot quoting things without any context. Also, nice whataboutism there kiddo.

            Yeah, he was expecting there’d eventually be a global revolution… that would disregard borders.

              What he was actually expecting was that the contradictions of capitalism will cause the system to implode on itself, which is precisely what we see unfolding today.

                He was pretty clearly not just writing about the English proletariat, or the German. Except there wasn’t really a Germany the same way at all at the time, because borders are imaginary.

                  The only thing that’s clear is that you’ve never read Marx, and there’s no point trying to have a discussion with somebody who’s ignorant on the subject they’re attempting to debate. I’ve already addressed your claim earlier by the way. You’re just rehashing the same bullshit here like a parrot.

                    I have. Even Kapital, through my bleeding eyes. You and me have conversed about it before.

                    No you didn’t, you basically reached for a canned insult, and then made an unrelated claim about something you’d prefer talking about. If you’re going to be evasive, you clearly aren’t very proud of your ideas, and you’re right that it’s a waste of our time.
