    If you have the ability to learn, then learn from history. It states very clearly in big bold letters that MARXISM IS A FAILURE

    Capitalism is not perfect, it has many problems and requires many adjustments, but despite it’s flaws it is objectively better than Marxism. Why? Because it has actually been proven to work.

        China stopped being economically Marxist in the 1980s. The only thing that they kept from Marxism was all the authoritarianism. Cuba isn’t doing too hot though, their doctors literally get paid $50 a month

                Link doesn’t work.

                Also it doesn’t take a genius to point out the obvious. Anybody can tell you that fire is hot, water is wet, Hitler was a bad man, and Marxism is a failure. Marxists coping with the failures of Marxism have the same denial as conspiracy theorists. There’s literally no way about it. Marxism is in the same boat as feudalism, Nazism, absolute monarchies, or religious theocracies. They’re complete failures that need to be left behind in the past where they belong. Marxism didn’t work yesterday, it’s not going to work today, and it won’t work tomorrow.

                  Here’s a YouTube explanation of “Why Socialism?” By Albert Einstein:

                  https://youtu.be/Rk2FR8YflrE

                  “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” -Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
