Marxism and Socialism are and were theologies put forth where everyone was treated equal, no one above or below anyone else.
Their governmental structure got hijacked just like our capitalistic democratic structure has been hijacked.
The theology was not the problem, corrupted humans are the problem. LOL
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12339688 No, it doesn't work because some people just want to sit back and reap the rewards of other people's work. Say you work really hard so that your kids won't go hungry, and your neighbor doesn't work as hard as you, should you have to take food out of your kids mouths, so he can eat.
it isnt corrupted humans that ruin that type of society its lazy humans.
people aren't going to create something just so everybody can use it. they want recognition, they want profit, they want something that will make there's and their families life better. if capitalism is so crappy why has AMERICA created more technology and more wonderful things in the last 200 years than all the other countries combined? it's only been since China has made it to move toward capitalism that they have started been more creative.
People need to be creative, they need freedom to be happy. socialism and Marxism tried to discourage being creative because if somebody is different they don't like that. how do you think they look at disabled in Marxism they can't pull their weight so they are destroyed.
is suicide rate in socialist countries is astronomical. because you're stifled because you are all supposed to fit in the same size square. Capitalism you do what you're good at, you can do what you want to do , and harder or the more dangerous a job is the more you get paid. that sounds fair to me. Marxism and socialism you do what you are told needs to be done. and it all pays the same.
