Marxism?

Okay so I listen to classical music and operas, I believe in the importance of nation and race, I believe in the importance of religion in society, I oppose ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and feminism, I support private property, etc.

What does that make me according to Marxian theory? Am I just a poor, working-class simpleton "brainwashed by the bourgeoise" or something like that? :thinking:

I think McQuigg is right, if you're coming at marxism from an economic perspective.  However, if you are coming at marxism from a cultural perspective, then you don't sound like you're part of the proletariat, but rather an "oppressor" of the proletariat or at least someone who supports their oppression.  

Marxism?

An enemy of the revolution and an impediment to collectivization, or in other words, nonexistent.  

I'm glad that you are a fan of classical music.  I am too!

As for marist theory, I would say first get an introduction book on the subject.  I think the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Marxism" is a good idea.  I'm not making a joke here.  When I became interested in classical music and also wine, I started with the "Complete Idiot's Guide to...." books for each.

Being a working man, you would likely be categorized as a proletarian.

Sorry I should have made myself clear. I realize that Marxism would see me as a proletarian but I am saying that Marxism sees classical music and operas as bourgeoise inventions, sees nation and race as bourgeoise prejudices, sees religion as bourgeoise, sees morality as petty-bourgeoise and a bourgeoise prejudice, sees a traditional role of women as bourgeoise, sees private property as bourgeoise, etc.

So would that make me a proletarian brainwashed by the bourgeoise or full of bourgeoise prejudices, or something like that?

An enemy of the revolution...

I am glad to be considered an enemy to such an evil ideology. :wink:

I would hope so.
The key thing to realize is that there really is no theoretical Marxism, it's more like the practice of innovating, and legitimizing through a falsely philosophical narrative,  the propaganda that brings about the ʝʊdɛօ-Masonic slave state.
In such a state people with tastes like yours, especially considering their lack of popularity bellies a certain amount of individuality in those that enjoy them, are murdered post haste. Collectivization needs victims of murder and crime so it can "unify" in the favorable atmosphere of intense survival stress, coupled with a need to eliminate enemies of the revolution and examples of individual expression, this this systematic murder is self fulfilling.

Trad Guy,

Do you have a favorite classical music composer?

According to my dictionary, bourgeois values are basically materialistic and a product middle class merchants, shopkeepers and businessmen.  

Don't get me wrong I oppose materialism and consumerism, along with greed but Marxism considers any descent morality as petty-bourgeoise and a bourgeoise prejudice as well. I also support small businesses and family farms over large corporations which are immoral behemoths.

That sounds good.  According to wikipedia, the petty-bourgeois are basically what we call today "small business owners."   The bourgeois were people like bill gates, henry ford, john d. rockefeller, rupert murdoch, warren buffet, j.p. morgan and steve jobs, who basically own/controlled very large businesses or conglomerates.  The proletariat were people who earned a regular wage working for the bourgeois and the petty-bourgeois.  The lumpen-proletariat were people who subsist somehow outside of that system, like soldiers of fortune/hired thugs, prostitutes, drug dealers, professional gamblers and thieves.
