I got an idea - RM, why not post some documentation? I have no dog in this fight, just interested in truth, as do many who read here but don't post.

Well, my point being that Marxism doesn't mandate an identical education for everyone (or wages, or...), it's somewhat hard to prove a negative. How do I quote Marx as 'not saying something'?

I invited the person claiming Marx or Communism does make such demands to post evidence, it normally being incumbent on the person making the *positive* claim to support their argument. Certainly the fact that Danny Goldstick stated the exact opposite puts the point in reasonable doubt, given that he's an expert on Marx.

And the borderline nutbar statements in the original article indicate the author seriously needs to either do some remedial reading or get back on the thorazine.

Thorazine?

Oh well. I think the bottom line is that Communism, large or small c, is an abomination and tortues humanity. I still think her points are valid, and not being a scholar, my fund of general knowledge tells me that the general position of Communism is to take peoples' individuality away from them and force them to be ciphers, with little to no voice of their own. The state runs and rules all, including their education, income, where they live, etc. Of course, the drawing board and reality aren't always exactly the same.

What would you say the goals or plan of Communism is/was regarding income and education, since you (vehemently to the point of name calling) disagree with the author?
