the publisher of communist works mecw is using copyright to force www.marxists.org to remove all of the works it has allowed them to provide

here is a link to mecw works on marxists.org

feel free to do whatever you want with them

figured since they work as part of the communist community and are now using copyright to consolidate the use of their translations i would provide a link for you

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/cw/

never even been to the site before but apparantly some are calling for a boycott

this is marxism not 20th century communism

he wrote mostly about how capitalists exploit the world and how class struggles keep the average worker down in the shithole

seems his work is dry

The solution's obvious; Make their own translation.

they seem to already have several other versions of the translations from other publishers

although what there is besides the core works of marx i do not know

He also wrote on the virtues of Capitalism, and how it was a necessary step in the evolution of human society. A lot of people don't realize this of Marx.

Of course, he did say it was a step we should now move on from, but still a necessary one.

well i am not communist but third way

or more accurately a mix of socialism and libertarianism

so i think the government should do what it is suppose to and provide neccessary needs of civilization like medical care and energy production but i think that private organization should be able to do most of what they want

so if they want to produce power they can sell it to whoever they want to as long as they do not pollute the ecosystem. but they do not get a monopoly on the transmission of power to residents like they often do now
