No it isn't, Soviet communism is stupid.
Marxism was designed for an economy based on industry,(like the USA), but was applied to an agricultural society (and badly at that) in Russia.

What marxism set out to do was fix the percieved injustice of the capitalist system whereby a few workshy rich people lived of the sweat off the masses like parasites, taking the majority of the money and doing little or no work.
The principle was that everyone worked for the 'good of all' with everyone benefitting to the same extent.
Instead of working for rich owners they would be working for themselves. A good expample of this is the English shop Waitrose.
Quote:Unlike other major supermarkets, Waitrose isn't owned by shareholders and the City. Instead, as part of the John Lewis Partnership, it's owned by everyone who works for the Partnership. (That's why Waitrose staff are called 'partners'.) And every year they share the profits that would normally go to shareholders. As you would expect this produces an extraordinary high level of committment amongst those who work in our stores.
Ironically Waitrose is where the middle class shop.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
