Because you don't understand the concept of labor for Marx. It's not the same as working at a job in modern day capitalism. Labor for Marx is something men willwantto do, even when we're overdosed on bluepills with robot whores, see the bolded:

Karl Marx_sl said:
In a higher phase of communist society,after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly-only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

Then Marx is the only true one by that statement since every idea is taken and changed even slightly to better suit the needs of those using it.
Well I'm not the one appealing to Marx as the cannonical socialist. Really if anyone deserves that honor (and really no one does) I think it easily goes to Bakunin.

Yes new age cult bullshit based on measurable science, not some quasi-socioeconomic philosophy dreamed up by someone that from the looks of it wasn't capable of maintaining proper hygiene.

Many men who created and inspired much of the technology you use daily would like a word with you.
lol

Tell me more of this science behind the idea of the singularity. If you can get Kurzweil's dick out of your mouth long enough that is.

uh huh
Yeah. Uh. Huh. I was using a rhetorical device that went right past your fucking head.

Yeah, yeah, dipshit. Every criticism you mentions is like the most superficial bullshit ever. You have no grasp of what you're talking about.
So superficial you've spent an entire evening trying to insulate and innoculate your entire ideology against it through denialism and revisionism.

How is "the absence of capital relations is a necessary condition of socialism" ideologically sleder. Try to defend that shit you fucking moron. I dare you.
Because there is no such thing as an absence of capital relations. There is no such thing as a society where exchange values aren't denoted through currencies, and there is no such thing as a society in which someone, somewhere, can't accrue a tiny bit more than someone else. Or a lot more. Fucking markets are OUTRIGHT BANNED in fucking North Korea. By LAW. You can have you, and 3 generations of your ENTIRE FAMILY locked away in a gulag for engaging in TRADE, and yet people do it. And make BANK running the gauntlet between No Ko and China to smuggle goods, foods, etc. in.

The very idea that you can create a society where people aren't relating to one another through their goods and services and finding ways to end up with more of one thing than someone else has is narcissistic fantasy.

So basically for you taxonomy is claims and labels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy_(general)

Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification.
Derp.

Nothing to do with the actual content of their thought.
So now Mao's writings, teachings, entire political philosophy, operating framework, etc. are excluded from his content of thought because, well, because Mikhail said so.

Well great, but that's how a fucking idiot approaches that problem.
No, the way an idiot approaches a problem is telling themselves that taxonomy doesn't have to do with classification, and that entire treatises thousands of pages long don't count as content of thought of major socialist authors because the idiot said so.

The problems with that sort of approach are, frankly, too innumerable to list.
More like, they don't exist, that's why you can't name them.

But really, I don't think you even believe that bullshit. I think you just know that's what you have to say in order to reach the conclusion you started with. You will literally say anything, no matter how fucking stupid it is.
Coming from the guy who has spent an entire night telling us to IGNORE MAOS OWN WORDS over Mikhail's OPINIONS and DESIRES its pretty goddamn laughable the levels of projection you exude.

So I know you didn't actually read it, but Dumar's quote about Marx is essentially just a restating of my standard. Personally, I don't identify with Marx, but you seem to think he represents some kind of cannonical figure.
See Dumar? Mikhail doesn't think Marx defines Marxism. He's not a "canonical figure" in socialist theory.

That's how far down the retard rabbit hole you two have jumped to defend the indefensible and contradictory horseshit opinions you have.

Why are you suddenly simply content to ignore what Marx actually thinks as a guide to what socialism means?
More projection I see. You've argued the entire night to ignore Marx. You literally can't stop contradicting yourself.

Aww poor wittle Bakunin, so ignored by the main stream Communists

Why he's just such a poor little put upon baby I can't even stand it!

But, you know, Marx literally being the defining factor in the Dialectic sort of demands that he's canon.

This isn't Star Wars where you get to claim Episodes 1-3 weren't really canon because you didn't like them enough.

No retard, try to keep up. I was talking about your proposed socialist criticisms of capitalism. Jesus you're thick.

There is no such thing as a society where exchange values aren't denoted through currencies, and there is no such thing as a society in which someone, somewhere, can't accrue a tiny bit more than someone else. Or a lot more. Fucking markets are OUTRIGHT BANNED in fucking North Korea. By LAW.

Ok. That's not what capital relations are. If you don't know what the terms I'm using mean, you should ask rather than wasting hours of my time.

Right. You can classify things by what they're called (which is pretty circular and not really informative) or you can classify things by certain necessary features. One way is retarded and the other is correct. Figure it out.

So now Mao's writings, teachings, entire political philosophy, operating framework, etc. are excluded from his content of thought because, well, because Mikhail said so.
They're excluded from the realm of socialism because they violate necessary constraints. We can talk about whether I've correctly identified those constraints, but you don't even seem to be familiar with the basic terminology.

No, the way an idiot approaches a problem is telling themselves that taxonomy doesn't have to do with classification
Taxonomy DOES have to do with classification, specifically RATIONAL classification that's based on features (and not labels).

More like, they don't exist, that's why you can't name them.
Yeah you're right, how could I possibly point issues like, for example, indoctrination or ignorance. Nope. You're right. There's absolutely no problem with just appealing to popular usage of a label and calling it a day. Holy fuck you're dumb.

Coming from the guy who has spent an entire night telling us to IGNORE MAOS OWN WORDS over Mikhail's OPINIONS and DESIRES its pretty goddamn laughable the levels of projection you exude.
No retard. I've been telling you to ignore mao's own labels and to apply a rational standard to see if those labels actually make sense. A rational standard ISN'T what did they call themselves. That's fucking retarded.

See Dumar? Mikhail doesn't think Marx defines Marxism.
Ok. Now you're just being an idiot on purpose. You're just flat out trolling. Good bye, dipshit.

More projection I see. You've argued the entire night to ignore Marx. You literally can't stop contradicting yourself.
And you've been saying that you can't do that. But then you just did. But you're just trolling so the source of that inconsistency is obvious.

Disagree. Star Wars is a lot like communism. CHICKEN AND EGG ARABRO.

Now hodj, can you please explain to us now the very relevant fact that the chicken did come before the egg, and how that is obviously consequential to Darth Vader being a Marxist.

Because you don't understand the concept of labor for Marx. It's not the same as working at a job in modern day capitalism. Labor for Marx is something men willwantto do, even when we're overdosed on bluepills with robot whores, see the bolded:
Because satisfaction with your job is exclusive to Marxist dogma. Because people today don't work because they enjoy working. I mean literally no one goes to college and gets an education because they desire to have a career. That never happens, right?

Anyway, this is Marx's labor value theory.

http://www.public.iastate.edu/~soc.401/marx(feb03).pdf

Marx's Labor Theory of Value
Labor theory of value: The value of any commodity is
ultimately derived from the labor used to create it.
Use value: whether something is useful or not; produced to
satisfy one's own needs; measured qualitatively.
Exchange value: produced to be exchanged for other use
values; defined quantitatively. (Under capitalism, the
purpose of work is to produce exchange value.)
Capitalism obscures the fact that labor is the ultimate source
of value. Since workers produce commodities for capitalists
(instead of for themselves), these commodities and markets
take on an independent existence. This process, the
fetishism of commodities, allows for the exploitation of
laborers.
Workers are exploited because they are paid less than the
value they produce with their labor
E.g., workers are paid for the value of four hours of
labor, but they work eight hours. The value of the four
additional hours of work is surplus value kept by the
capitalist.
Surplus value: the difference between the value of the
product when it is sold (its exchange value) and the value
of the elements, especially labor, consumed in the formation
of the product
I fully understand that Marx proposed that under proper Communist distribution, every worker would be happy and would choose to engage in activities they enjoy simply for the sake of doing so. That isn't realistic, division of labor and specialization developed for a reason in human society, and when you're doing something you love, people don't perceive it as work anyway. Its an argument without a point. People will not undertake labor like working in a fucking factory for 8 hours sweating to make fucking plastic dildos for export to the West of their own free will, ever.

Literally all he has left is trying to pretend he's lost other people and insult their intelligence. Its pathetic.

Ok. That's not what capital relations are. If you don't know what the terms I'm using mean, you should ask rather than wasting hours of my time.
Notice how Dumar and Mikhail constantly try to claim authority on defining every term, and they always exclusively attempt to define the terminology on extremely thin grounds which allow them to pretend absolutely no criticism is valid?

Yeah that's why they're wrong.

Right. You can classify things by what they're called (which is pretty circular and not really informative) or you can classify things by certain necessary features.
Certain necessary features like holding a Revolution of the Proletariat, nationalizing industries and turning them over to the proletariat, writing entire treatises on their political theory, basing entire nations on these ideas.

One way is retarded and the other is correct. Figure it out.
So 75 million dead in Russia, not a feature. But fantastical notions of perfection. Feature. Gotcha.

They're excluded from the realm of socialism because they violate necessary constraints.
Those restraints are only considered necessary now, after the fact, as a result of watching the results of not having those restraints in place. Its a pretty weak argument you got there, dipshit.

We can talk about whether I've correctly identified those constraints, but you don't even seem to be familiar with the basic terminology.
Says the guy who doesn't even know what the dialectic is.

Taxonomy DOES have to do with classification, specifically RATIONAL classification that's based on features (and not labels).
Right, so rational classification = No one is a communist unless they get Mikhail and Dumar's specific approval before hand
Irrational classification = Their life history, their artistic works, their actions as leaders of communist revolutions and nation states.

You're really stupid, you realize that right?

Yeah you're right, how could I possibly point issues like, for example, indoctrination or ignorance. Nope. You're right. There's absolutely no problem with just appealing to popular usage of a label and calling it a day. Holy fuck you're dumb.
Popular definitions exist for a reason. Sorry you wish you could rewrite the whole world to fit your specific definitions so everything would fit neatly in your little box and you could ignore the literal piles of bodies your ideology has resting at its feet, its not gonna happen though.

No retard. I've been telling you to ignore mao's own labels and to apply a rational standard to see if those labels actually make sense. A rational standard ISN'T what did they call themselves. That's fucking retarded.
So a rational standard is to completely ignore Mao's writings, his actions in his life, his life history, his operating paradigm, and to just take all the Communist apologists word for it that none of these other people were REALLY Communists, no. But you? Oh you know how to make this revolution happen RIGHT this time. Just trust you. Right?

Ok. Now you're just being an idiot on purpose. You're just flat out trolling. Good bye, dipshit.
I accept your admission that you are wrong and laugh in your face.

And you've been saying that you can't do that. But then you just did. But you're just trolling so the source of that inconsistency is obvious.
No, I said Marxist Dialectic was the accepted catch all term for socialism in an academic context. Everything else has been your butthurt and mad at how wrong you are.

For Marxism. But this is just more trolling on your part.
And Marxism isn't socialism because you said so. Right?

Derp.

Egg evolved something like I can't even remember how many millions of years before the chicken ever appeared, actually.

You'd know that if you'd taken less sociology bullshit and more biology bullshit.

Yeah that's why they're wrong.
Thin grounds? I'm not defining any term. I'm showing you what the literature says, from the guy who wrote it. Other authors have defined socialism and even communism differently. You're free to read them, criticize them, and whatever else all you want. I can claim a communist nation is one of farm animals with pigs in charge, then write about it. But that's not what Marx literature says.

If you talk about communism as defined by Karl Marx, I showed you why the USSR or Mao's China wasn't even close.
