I'll subscribe to Marxist theory when someone shows me a good working example.
Of course that will never happen.
Socialism and Communism will fail...because the 'ideals' do not counter human nature.
And human nature is the survival of the fittest - albeit with moral conscience.
And THAT my friends is conservatism.
NOTE TO SELF: Shut up and read the whole damn thing before posting. DOH!
i had this discussion yesterday with two customers. They pretty much knew I was right.
Heck that's easy. The world abounds with excellent examples of the communist system that function very well indeed.
Any anthill, bees nest, or termite mound diplays all the characteristics of a well run communist state. Just look in your back yard. I bet you've got communists all over the place.
My cat is a successful socialist. She gets free healthcare, food, housing, doesn't ever work, pay taxes, or ever have to grow up. She recommends it highly.
