Has Marx ever been debunked?

[Anonymous]

Has his works ever been disproven by a right winger or capitalist?

Everything is on a spectrum even marx but mark and abraham lincoln was pin pals for a reason.

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

In Usa people don't out right own land we pay property tax

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Usa has income taxes.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.

There is an estate tax well over a million dollars

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

That is the plan with a lot of china investment if we go to war. So a trillion dollars of debt papers ripped up if china or anyone global acts up. It happened with Russia with the sanctions same with Iran. I'd argue donald trump was a rebal but that's a discussion in of itself.

5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Like our central bank.

6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

fcc and dot

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

Unions/COOP

8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

Unions/COOP

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

Unions/coop.

10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c., &c.

Current schooling.

How would you measure "debunked?" I can take any famous political author and find something they were wrong about or lied about. Is that enough to be considered to be debunked? Would all of their claims have to be debunked? Then, it would be pretty much impossible to debunk them. If it's somewhere in between, then it's back to my first question. A percentage of total claims of all works, maybe?

I would say Marxism as a theory

[BetaBucks]

It's a multifaceted theory, so I'm sure it boils down to the same thing I said before. And back to the same criteria. If any part of the theory doesn't hold water, is it entirely debunked? Or do all the components of the theory have to be debunked? And how do we decide what constitutes Marxist theory vs Marx's beliefs?

The USSR, Vietnam, Venezeula, Cuba... Marx has been disproved a dozen times over, and it's usually by Marxists. Conservatives have learned they don't have to do or say anything; just let the system go and it'll collapse on its own.

If you insist on those who aren't supporters of it, though, the best example is in Poland, where genuine Marx-style union action was taken by the workers, and successfully, at that- specifically to bring down Communism.

Yeah look at every communist country and you'll see the communists did a good job at debunking themselves. Its like coding computers put shit in you'll get shit out and communism is a shit ideology that has killed untold millions and gave nothing but pain and suffering in return.

If proof was their concern they couldn't be right wingers.

[Dargil]

His works have been disproven by every culture that tried it.
