So Dr Keynes, you would call any country that provides any social programs at no cost to it's citizens a Marxist state? Canada, Sweden, Ireland and even the US, to some degree, would be considered Marxist? Is that what you are saying? You really use a wide brush when you paint a country Marxist. In that regard maybe we should add a little more Marx to our soup, because a lot of those so called Marxist countries are better off in health care, education, longevity and in just about every other measurement of life quality. China, theoretically Marxist, is destroying the West in the one thing that counts to the free market, the acquisition of wealth. Which leads me back to my original question? Is capitalism failing in the 21st century. By most measurements, both economic and social, it appears that it is.
duhhhh... maybe you not so smart.
try reading words, not the slogans you imagine in your head when anybody says leftism=marxism
Protip: Leftism IS Marxism.
marx's shitty ideals havent died off, they have gotten into the pantry, established nests under the cupboards and in the walls, so they can skitter out as soon as the lights go off, to feed, shit in our cornflakes and lay eggs. any time the light goes on, the Marxroaches scurry under the refrigerator and try to pretend they are just dust bunnies.
marxism is slowly infesting every nation on earth, including the US, with creeping socialism, expanding government controls and the erosion of personal responsibility.
defending the creeping marxist/socialist infestation in washington, pretending marxism is a dirty word and insisting nobody can call marxist marxist cuz "THAT'S RACIST!" is all just part of the marxist playbook. the actual marxist shitbags prey upon the gullibility and stupidity of the New Left.
even the most ardent New Leftist recognizes at some level that Marx's shit doesnt work so now they just want a little bit of marx, not a lot, just this, and this...
ohh and maybe this.
Ooo!! and a little of that!
and before long they are dragging around all the baggage of marx, still pretending they are "just a little bit socialist, which is like totally not marxist"
the "capitalism" you so blithely declare is "falling apart" is actually the plutocracy of Fascism (an offshoot of marxism, im not gonna bother explaining this again, go read mussolini) and it's slower sneakier version, Democratic Socialism.
revolutionary marxism doesnt sell where the people dont feel oppressed, so now we elect fascists and their democratic socialist plans to slowly increase the control of the government until Socialism has been achieved, then.... eventually.... that will somehow evolve into the communist utopia. thats how it was designed, thats how it works (in theory) and thats how it is being put into practice all around the world.
a slow disease instead of a violent revolution.
you may WISH capitalism would die, but capitalism is Real and it works, marxism is nothing but a pipe dream in poppy smoke, and those who take up the pipe never think of themselves as addicts, until a rat chews off their foot in a filthy opium den.
