But you all get that's what I'm saying right? That there are motives other than getting paid?

One of the core arguments against any Marxist ideology is that people would have no drive to get up in the morning and work because they can't maximize their profits, but that's only assuming that making money is the sole reason why people do things. The example just proves how that's not the case. There's no monetary gain for saving that child- in fact, there's no gain to the man whatsoever. But he still does so for plenty of other reasons.

But see, a human life is one thing, living under a totalitarian regime is a whole other ball game.

How many times is someone going to have to tell you that Marxism does not necissarily entail totalitarianism before you grasp that simple concept?

Thats like someone saying all republics are corrupt elitist states that drone strike other countries. I mean really, think man.

If you want me to stop thinking that, show me from the past that Marxism works and is applicable to HUMANS. (not some dumbed-down, brainwashed, silly communists)
