Isn’t that enough proof there that marxism is shit?[/quote]
It’s shit for people who got swept away.
In the big scheme, the revolutions in Russia and China were just changes of dynasties. If they get established and are able to smoothly hand power over time, they will just become like us.[/quote]
No, whether the red revolution in Russia, Maos Revolution or the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the socialist upheavals resulted in something more akin to feudalism than socialism. I suspect what Marx was driving at looks more like Norway and not what most think of for communism. Nor am I aware in his work where people come up with a surgeon and janitor making the same.[/quote]
