I was inspired by Paul1405 and his emphasis on the cost of policy and thought it could promote interesting discussion to discuss Marxism in the same way.

CM with respect, we may just as well talk about the life and times of a road kill roo I passed on the way home
Both are dead, both smell ,and both are unlikely to worry us much these days
Donal Trump, what a man, he and those who follow him want to breath life back in to reds under the bed junk
We are better for being aware it is just another insane muttering from a man soon to be gone
This proudly progressive centrist refuses to fear shadows

Marxism, Socialism, Democracy etc are all simply sabotaged & inevitably brought down by greed !

How many people was it again that died as a result of Communism and Socialism. Many tens of millions from memory.

Venezuela is an amazing success story for socialism. Oh that's right that was 20 years ago when all the leftist academia were inviting the leaders here to teach and lecture. Now people are doing well to get a feed.

Socialism simply can't work as long as greed is all around us, particularly among socialists !
