    Marx. What a silly beard he had. Ideology is one thing, but fashion? Oh did he fail on that front. Unless you're of the mindset that he was actually setting a trend for future Jamaicans to follow.

    Incidentally I didn't know he was from Trier. That sure explains a lot.

    I suppose you can not give him 100% credit due to the theory of Communism/Socialism being historically inevitable, and the practice of Communism being historically inevitable.
    *In the same way a Thesis and a Antithesis combine in conflict to create a Synthesis, the Ruling Class and the Lesser Class combine in conflict to create a more ideal world until THE ideal world is created.

    We've been over Dialectic Materialism (and its utter nonsense) in the topic about it.

    The hole isn't made for the puddle. The puddle conforms to the hole.

    ... imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.

    Not really. Considering it has not ever excisted as scale of an entire nation. But there are dozens of socialist countries that call them selves communist (or are trying to invole to)
    There is hundreds if not thousands of communist communities all around the world, including USA.

    Communism cannot work and will not work, the sooner you realise that then the sooner it dies for you.

    No, it cannot work. Communism is a utopia. If you ever watch a film called The Beach - that is what happens to a Utopia. Two factors will forever come into play, the obsession of keeping it perfect and the capitalists.

    Well, at least your reasoning isn't utter made up bullshit, and for that you have gained my respect.
    Also, The Beach is a fucking awesome movie.

    My friend said this, made me smile:

    The difference between liberal & Marxist political analysis illustrated... Liberalism: "Shit happens." Marxism: "Shit happens for a reason."
