Earlier today I wrote that school destroys critical thinking. Many of you asked for proof.
The proof is Marx.
Marxism is probably the most tested theory in human history. Tested on paper by the best economists in the world. Tested at full scale on hundreds of millions of people, across several continents, for more than a century. And it failed every single test.
A free mind, one that checks its ideas against reality, cannot remain Marxist. If so many people still are, it's not a problem of intelligence. It's a problem of method. They were never taught to verify.
Let's start from the beginning.
In 1867, Marx publishes Das Kapital. Everything rests on one idea: the value of a good comes from the amount of labor it contains. The boss's profit is therefore labor stolen from the worker.
Four years later, in 1871, Menger and Jevons independently show that this is wrong. Value doesn't come from labor. It comes from the usefulness the buyer sees in the good. An hour spent digging a useless hole creates zero value. That's the marginal revolution, and all of modern economics is built on it.
In 1896, Böhm-Bawerk shows that Marx's system contradicts itself: real prices don't match labor values, and Marx knew it. The foundation collapses.
In 1920, Mises asks the question that kills it: without private property, there are no market prices. Without prices, how does a central planner know what to produce, how much, and with which resources? Answer: he can't. Hayek finishes the job in 1945: economic knowledge is scattered across millions of minds, and no central bureau can ever gather it.
That's the theory. Now the predictions.
Marx predicted the revolution would break out in the most industrialized countries, England and Germany. It happened in Russia, an agrarian country. Wrong.
He predicted workers would grow poorer and poorer under capitalism. They grew richer than at any point in history. Wrong.
He predicted the State would wither away. Everywhere his ideas were applied, the State became total. Wrong.
Now the experiments.
USSR: forced collectivization, famine in Ukraine, millions dead, the Gulag.
China: Mao's Great Leap Forward. Between 15 and 45 million dead depending on the historian. The largest famine in human history, produced by a plan.
Cambodia: the Khmer Rouge killed roughly a quarter of their own population in four years.
Then there are the natural experiments. The most brutal ones, because they eliminate every excuse.
Korea. Same people, same language, same culture, same history. In 1945, the North was richer than the South. Today, income per person in the South is about 29 times higher than in the North. Only one variable changed: the system.
Germany. One people cut in two. One side had to build a wall. Not to keep people out. To keep them in.
Venezuela. The largest proven oil reserves on the planet. Nearly 8 million people fled the country. 21st-century socialism ended with Maduro captured last January.
Meanwhile, the other system, the one you were taught to hate, did this: in 1820, about three quarters of humanity lived in extreme poverty. Today, around 10%. And the biggest escape from poverty in history, China after 1978, happened at the exact moment the Communist Party brought markets back.
From Marx to Maduro, 150 years of data. All pointing the same way.
So how does anyone stay Marxist?
With the magic sentence: "that wasn't real communism."
Think about what that sentence means. A theory that fails every time it's tried, whose believers then declare that none of the attempts counted, is no longer a theory. It's a faith. Karl Popper saw it as early as 1945: Marxism survived its refutations by making itself irrefutable.
A mind trained to think for itself asks one question: how many failures does it take before you question the hypothesis? One, two, ten, forty?
That's exactly the question school never teaches you to ask.
Marx isn't taught as a hypothesis to test against the data. He's taught as a morality tale: there are oppressors and oppressed, and the right side is obvious. You learn the conclusion, never the method.
A four-year-old would ask: "Okay, but where did it work?" Fifteen years of schooling later, they've stopped asking.
A system that teaches you to obey has no interest in teaching you to verify. Because the day you start verifying is the day you start being free.
And that day, you stop being a Marxist.
A few years ago, Peter Thiel wrote to Mark Zuckerberg: 70% of Millennials say they're pro-socialist.
His conclusion: stop calling them stupid, and try to understand why.
His explanation was economic. Too much student debt, unaffordable housing, no capital. When you own nothing, you have no reason to defend the system.
He's right. But that's only half the story.
The other half is school.
School destroys critical thinking. Methodically. For fifteen years.
You learn to recite instead of question. To find the expected answer instead of the true one. To obey authority instead of reasoning for yourself.
When you've spent your youth outsourcing your thinking to an institution, it feels natural to outsource your life to an even bigger one: the State.
That's why so many end up Marxist. Not by conviction. By conditioning.
And that conditioning is about to become a handicap.
We're entering a world where AI does everything conformist, predictable and standardized better than we do. The only value left is thinking differently.
To create value tomorrow, you'll need to be neurodivergent.
And someone who thinks differently and reasons from first principles almost always ends up seeing the same thing: the State, as it works today, destroys more value than it creates.
It's no accident that Alex Karp created a fellowship at Palantir dedicated to neurodivergent talent. To him, in the age of AI, there are only two ways to have a future: master a real trade, or be neurodivergent.
But I'll go further than Karp.
I believe neurodivergence isn't the exception. It's the natural state of the human mind.
Look at a four-year-old. They ask hundreds of questions a day. They take everything apart. They refuse any rule they don't understand. They think from first principles without even knowing it's a thing.
Then they go to school. And we spend fifteen years normalizing them.
School doesn't shape minds. It sands them down.
The future belongs to those who survived the sanding.

Les pionniers juifs, dĂšs la fin du XIXá” siĂšcle, ont achetĂ© des terres lĂ©galement, souvent marĂ©cageuses, dĂ©sertiques et abandonnĂ©es, quâils ont rĂ©ussi Ă faire revivre.
Des Ă©crivains comme Mark Twain, visitant la rĂ©gion en 1867, dĂ©crivent une terre vide, dĂ©sertique, misĂ©rable, oĂč lâon ne croise presque personne. Mark Twain visite la rĂ©gion lors de son voyage en Orient qu'il raconte dans "Le Voyage des Innocents". Il dĂ©crit un territoire en grande partie sous-peuplĂ©, rural, pauvre et nĂ©gligĂ© sous l'administration ottomane, marquĂ© par des villes en dĂ©clin, comme JĂ©rusalem ou Nazareth, et des campagnes particuliĂšrement clairsemĂ©es.
La région, à l'époque, fait partie intégrante de l'Empire ottoman et est généralement désignée sous le nom de Sud de la Syrie dans l'administration ottomane.
Ce sont les Juifs, dans leur propre patrie historique, qui lâont rendue fĂ©conde. Ils ont assĂ©chĂ©, plantĂ©, construit, cultivĂ©. Ils ont crĂ©Ă© des emplois, attirĂ© de la vie, de lâespoir, et⊠de la main-dâĆuvre. Les registres britanniques lâattestent : lâimmigration arabe vers la Palestine a explosĂ© en parallĂšle de lâessor sioniste. Des familles sont venues dâĂgypte, de Syrie, du Liban, de Transjordanie , attirĂ©es par les perspectives de travail et la prospĂ©ritĂ© naissante.
Ce nâest donc pas lâarrivĂ©e des juifs qui a chassĂ© les Arabes, mais lâarrivĂ©e des Juifs qui a fait venir les Arabes. Le mensonge selon lequel la terre dâIsraĂ«l appartenait aux Palestiniens, et que les Juifs auraient volĂ©e est devenu le socle de toute la propagande antisĂ©mite moderne et que l'Europe a eu la faiblesse d'accrĂ©diter.
Merci à @PNerval pour son partage particuliÚrement intéressant.

Two leftist Marxist students celebrating the Islamic Revolution in Tehran, 1979.
Sahar Mohammadi (left) and Maryam Rafiei (right).
Maryam Rafiei was later executed by the same regime in the 1988 prison massacres, along with thousands of other leftist political activists.
The revolution ate its own.
They hated the Shah of Iran so much that they cheered Khomeiniâs arrival, convinced the revolution would bring freedom and modernity.
Reminds you of anything today?

Andreas Malm beskriver Storbritanniens beslut att Äterkalla hans resetillstÄnd som ett angrepp pÄ yttrandefriheten. Beslutet kan absolut granskas och ifrÄgasÀttas.
Men det finns ocksÄ orsak att granska vad Malm sjÀlv faktiskt har sagt.
I sin bok How to Blow Up a Pipeline beskriver han avsiktligt urskillningslöst dödande av civila som terrorismens kÀrna.
I december 2023 kallade han den 7 oktober en befrielsehandling. Han erkÀnde att palestinska vÀpnade grupper avsiktligt dödade civila, men beskrev samtidigt massakrerna som tragiska inslag i en i grunden vacker befrielsekamp.
I en kompletterande intervju argumenterade han för att dödandet av civila israeler hade en annan politisk betydelse Ă€n dödandet av palestinska civila. Han anvĂ€nde uttrycket âcivila kolonisatörerâ.
Han uttryckte ocksÄ lÄngvarig politisk sympati för PFLP och sade att han höll Hamas militÀra ledare Mohammed Deif högt.
I september 2025 fick han frĂ„gan om han stod fast vid sina uttalanden om den 7 oktober. Svaret var: âJa det Ă€r klart jag gör. Absolut.â
Malm har samtidigt uttryckligen sagt att han inte hyllar dödandet av civila.
Men dÄ ÄterstÄr en frÄga:
Anser Andreas Malm att de avsiktliga massmorden pÄ civila den 7 oktober var terrorism enligt hans egen definition? Och om inte - varför inte?
Storbritannien har dragit tillbaka hans resetillstÄnd eftersom man inte anser att det ligger i landets intresse att slÀppa in honom. Hans uttalanden om den 7 oktober, sympatier för vÀpnade grupper och försvar av politiskt sabotage kan kanske ha spelat in?
Men akademisk frihet innebÀr inte frihet frÄn att granskas kritiskt. Och rÀtten att uttrycka sina Äsikter Àr inte detsamma som en ovillkorlig rÀtt att resa in i ett annat land.
Det vore intressant att fÄ höra Malms svar pÄ den moraliska frÄgan, inte bara hans invÀndningar mot det brittiska beslutet.
âVad sĂ€ger det om vĂ„r tid att inte ens forskare gĂ„r sĂ€kra genom de rum dĂ€r idĂ©er ska utbytas? Om det finns nĂ„gra liberaler kvar i den hĂ€r vĂ€rlden, tĂ€nk Ă„tminstone pĂ„ ert eget intresse. Det hĂ€r slutar inte med mig.â

đ©đȘđšMEGA-ESCĂNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLĂN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que HamĂĄs controla su partido y teme por su vidađŁ
Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel âun medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdistaâ ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cĂłmo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo.
Su candidata a gobernar BerlĂn, Elif Eralp, enviĂł por accidente a la redacciĂłn las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por HamĂĄs que opera dentro de su propio partido.
Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisĂł la transcripciĂłn. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debĂan quedar en la mĂĄs estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas.
El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntĂł por Ibrahim Ibrahim âun propalestino simpatizante de HamĂĄs que celebrĂł la masacre del 7 de octubreâ, la respuesta pĂșblica iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribiĂł la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, Ă©l tiene miedo de esta gente y yo tambiĂ©n».
La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mà misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?».
El mayor chiste de toda esta situaciĂłn, sin embargo, quedĂł plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sĂ querĂa publicar. En un alarde de desconexiĂłn absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sĂ puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velarĂ© por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido.
Luego del escĂĄndalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederĂĄ legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentarĂĄ una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que estĂĄn en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis.
La izquierda radical berlinesa creyĂł que podĂa capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islĂĄmico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.

KÀnns som att det nog Àr dags för Jan Emanuel att ta över Socialdemokraterna innan rasket kollapsar helt.
Says the prime minister who built his whole government on the Swedish fascists and turned their programme to policy, attacking climate,migration , public service etc and now in September lost the elections.

âSVT och SR â till folkmordssektens tjĂ€nstâ skriver Bengt G. Nilsson, tidigare journalist pĂ„ SVT.
âDen mest kĂ€nda palestinska journalisten i sammanhanget Ă€r Sami Abu Salem. SR:s korrespondent i Mellanöstern, Cecilia UddĂ©n, förlitar sig nĂ€stan helt pĂ„ hans rapportering inifrĂ„n Gaza. Hon har gjort en radiodokumentĂ€r om honom betitlad VĂ„r man i Gaza â Sami Abu Salem. NĂ€r Israel utsattes för de allra grövsta anklagelserna om att medvetet skapa svĂ€lt bland de civila, stapplade Sami Abu Salem fram i ruinerna med en mikrofon i handen, stönande av hunger, knappt förmögen att hĂ„lla sig uppe. Det blev bra radio. NĂ„gra dagar senare var han tillbaka i etern och rapporterade om nĂ„got annat vardagsĂ€mne, mĂ€tt och belĂ„ten sĂ„vitt man kunde höra.â
âSvenska mediekonsumenter fĂ„r aldrig nĂ„got annat Ă€n det som kallas human touch, alltsĂ„ sĂ„dant som ska röra kĂ€nslorna. Politiska analyser av kriget, oppositionella röster eller problematiseringar av hela krigsnarrativet saknas helt i dessa nyhetsbulletiner inifrĂ„n Gaza.â

Who was first? Palestinians or Jews? The answer is not 'either or'.
In the Egyptian Museum in Cairo stands a slab of black granite carved around 1208 BCE. Its hieroglyphs celebrate the victories of the pharaoh Mernepta: âIsrael is laid waste; his seed is not.â
The display makes no mention that more than three thousand years ago, an Egyptian king who knew nothing of the Hebrew Bible recorded that a people called Israel was living in Canaan.
The modern pro-Islamist claim that Jews are latecomers is historically false. Numerous ancient records refute it.
Around 840 BCE, King Mesha of Moab carved a stone boasting of his war against Israel and naming the Israelite king, Omri.
A ninth-century BCE inscription found at Tel Dan refers to the âHouse of David.â
In 701 BCE, the Assyrian king Sennacherib recorded his siege of âHezekiah the Judeanâ in Jerusalem.
These records are written by people with every reason to ignore Israel, that confirm that an Israelite and Judean people lived in the hills of Canaan for centuries before Rome existed.
The second claim is that Palestinians are an ancient people of the region, even older than Israel. This also fails.
The word Palestine is truly old, but it never referred to the people who carry that name today. Herodotus used PalaistinÄ in the fifth century BCE, and it comes from the Philistines, a seafaring people who arrived on the southern coast around 1200 BCE.
A 2019 study of ancient DNA from Ashkelon, published in Science Advances, found that the Philistines brought European-related ancestry with them, and that within two centuries it had been absorbed into the local population.
The Philistines disappeared after Babylon destroyed their cities around 604 BCE. Rome revived their name in about 135 CE, after crushing the Bar Kokhba revolt, and renamed the province of Judea as Syria Palaestina.
The Arab armies came in the 630s CE, some 1,800 years after Merneptahâs scribe carved the word Israel. They brought new rulers, a language, and a religion, and over the centuries most of the population adopted all three. What we call the distinctly Palestinian national identity arrived much later.
The Palestinian historian Rashid Khalidi, no friend of Zionism, dates its emergence in his book Palestinian Identity to the late Ottoman period and the early twentieth century.
Under the British Mandate, âPalestineâ was attached to any group that lived in the region, including Christians, Muslims, and Jews, that the countryâs leading English-language Jewish newspaper was called the Palestine Post.
It became the Jerusalem Post in 1950.
Modern genetic studies show that both Jews and Levantine Arabs, including Palestinians, carry substantial similar ancestry from ancient populations.
But historically, the Jewish people have an independently documented presence in that land going back more than three thousand years. Palestinians are, in large part, Arab descendants of the landâs long-term inhabitants, but their national identity is about a century old.
As to the claim of who lived in the land first, between Jews and Palestinians, the answer is not close.
Anyone who stands on a campus and calls the Jews of Israel foreign colonizers in their ancestral home is arguing with a granite slab in Cairo that names a Judean king in Jerusalem nearly 1,300 years before Muhammad was born.
Stones never lie.

Tre Är sedan 7 oktober. Den största massakern pÄ judar sedan Förintelsen. Hamas attackerade för att döda och lemlÀsta judar. De sköt barn i sÀngarna, vÄldtog kvinnor, brÀnde familjer levande och filmade det, stolta.
Och delar av vĂ€rlden jublade. Ăven pĂ„ svenska gator tutade bilkaravaner med lyckliga terrorkramare, medan judiska familjer fortfarande letade efter sina barn.
Antisemitiska hatbrott nÀstan femdubblades i Sverige efter attacken. Hatet fanns redan och vÀntade bara pÄ sin chans.
TÀnk pÄ innebörden av det. Judar massakreras av en terrororganisation och det som följer Àr mer judehat?
Jag Ă€r trött pĂ„ bortförklaringar. Trött pĂ„ âkontextâ. Trött pĂ„ âkonflikten Ă€r kompliceradâ. Nej, det Ă€r solklart. Den som hyllar, finansierar eller sprider Hamas propaganda ska mötas av lagens fulla kraft. Den som lĂ„ter judehat gro ska inte fĂ„ en krona i statsbidrag, föreningsbidrag eller skolpeng. ĂndĂ„ fĂ„r mĂ„nga det. Varje Ă„r.
Svenska judar lever bakom vakter och skottsĂ€kert glas. I Sverige. Ă
r 2026. Den skammen Àr vÄr att bÀra och historien kommer att döma hÄrt: alla som firade, som teg och som tittade bort.
KÀnns som att vÀnstern har kastat handskarna. Judehatet Àr nu en central del i deras ideologi. Samtidigt underblÄser dem en vÄldsam grÀsrotsrörelse som likt nazisternas Sturmabteilung (SA) fÄr löpa amok pÄ gatorna under parollen "missnöje".
Europa gÄr in i en ny mörk tid och Äterigen Àr hatet mot judar sjÀlva smörjmedlet.
Kommer ondskan besegras öven denna gÄng eller stÄr vi snart i den grop vi sjÀlva grÀvt medan Suhonen osÀkrar AK47:an?

I dag Àr det tre Är sedan massakern den 7 oktober.
Att just pÄ Ärsdagen tÄga i Göteborg med Hamas gröna fanor och hyllningar till Yahya Sinwar och Abu Obeida Àr groteskt och förkastligt.
Den 7 oktober Àr inte vilket datum som helst. Att dÄ hylla Hamas Àr en provokation mot massakerns offer och deras anhöriga.
Arrangören kallar sig âFlodenâ som direkt anspelning pĂ„ Hamas terroroperation âAl-Aqsa Flodenâ.
Affischen anvĂ€nder ett bildsprĂ„k som direkt anknyter till Hamas/al-Qassams propaganda. En maskerad militant bĂ€r Hamas/al-Qassams gröna pannband, samtidigt som den inverterade röda triangeln â anvĂ€nd som mĂ„lmarkör i al-Qassams stridsfilmer â placeras över en brinnande israelisk stridsvagn. Tillsammans med parollen âLĂ€nge leve motstĂ„ndetâ och det starkt framhĂ€vda datumet 7 oktober fĂ„r affischen en tydligt glorifierande framstĂ€llning av det vĂ€pnade motstĂ„ndet och en direkt association till Hamas attack den 7 oktober 2023.
NÀr börjar svenska myndigheter agera mot terrorhyllningar?
