My favorite type of person is the kind who thinks the Communist Manifesto is, like, Marx’s main work.
The Manifesto is great, but it’s absurd that it gets far more attention than more relevant and important works, to the point that I think it’s deliberate.
It’s pretty much a “baby’s first communism” pamphlet, so is it really that surprising it would be the only thing libs are familiar with?
I’d still say Principles of Communism does a better job as a “baby’s first communism pamphlet.” The Manifesto is a great call to action and has some banger lines, but isn’t the most effective if you want to radicalize most libs these days.
Image you have zero yards of linen (I need to stop rehashing this fucking joke lol)
“Communism = abolish currency” is a common belief among Americans in my experience. It’s because they think capitalism is when you’ve moved past the barter system. And because their only understanding of communism is that it’s opposed to capitalism, they arrive at “Communism is when no money”.
Sabine Hossenfelder, a presumably well educated person, had an incredibly dumb video titled something like, “Capitalism is actually good”, where almost the whole thing was equating capitalism with having currency as a means of exchange.

Smart people who have a high degree of eductation in one field, often wrongly think they have a strong understanding of subjects they haven’t or barely have studied. I noticed the same thing with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Which is ironic considering the many other videos where she critisises academia for things can be boiled down to capitalism
In a really really round about way, he’s right, but its also because housing is free, food is free etc etc. so what would you seriously be using money for? Hoarders get the wall, obviously
