@BritishFailedAesthetic they didnt create and murderous idelogy. Murderous freaks that are stalin and hitler greatly misunderstood or deliberately chose to distort the philosophy of marx or nietzsche to justufy their actions

@Guitarman123 What is your understanding of Nietzsche?

I don't agree with his contention that secularism and a modern world would render wipe out Christianity (and religion).

What is your view on this?
@Guitarman123 Strange how every Marxist society had human rights abuses.

@sree251 from my very limited understanding was that he was anti nationalist. Anti religion and strong supporter of individual liberty

What was his reason for rejecting nationalism? As an American who was proud of his country, I have come to realize some serious drawbacks to nationalism. It's is dangerous and neurotic to form cliques; especially, the kind that lead to group conflicts.

Human rights are a set of arbitrary rules. Are there any Marxist society? As @Guitarman123 said, Marx's ideology is not understood. What you referred to as Marxist society is a band of people exploiting other people. This is an universal trait in all forms of human society.

@sree251 he didnt like been seen as german. Saw nationalism as a way of brainwashing society.
