Marxism has two components: the theoretical and the practical. The theoretical is based on the notions of private property and profit. It's offered solution is a Gilligan's Island illusion. The most sincere believers in the old Soviet Union were the East Germans. They are now having the hardest time adjusting to the real world. The countries whose citizens never believed in their hearts are quite successful...the Poles, Czechs, etc. The practical side of Marxism is Stalin and Pol Pot, starvation and confiscation of lands from indigenous peoples...whether Mongolian or Ukrainian or African. Marxism is a lot like talking a girl into giving up her virginity for the promise of eternal love.
