Blue Lives Don't Exist

[Anomalocaris]

I’m always puzzled as to why people are afraid of Marxism. It’s exactly as much of a threat as an nuclear powered wombat.

Apparently, people seem to favor the reality of the one percent hoarding the world's wealth.

No, The appeal of Marxism to most like you is it seem to promise social justice of the type you like to see. 

But over the last century marxists who promise to Only take away from the 1% what you in your heart feel they don’t deserve have without exception established a long and consistent track record of also taking away from Most of those like you what You in your head think you do deserve, until in the end, enough of you feel you, in this respect, have more in common with the 1% then with the marxists. 

But keep in mind Marx himself wasn’t stupid enough to think that by providing some people’s idea of social justice, all will smell like roses.   The analytical justification he, and his most influential follower Engels provided for his ideal ultimate society is In a highly developed industrialized society, communism will utilize available manpower and productive resources far more efficiently than capitalism and will thus vastly outperform capitalism in economic development.   This is the basis of Nikita Krushchev’s famous boast to Richard Nixon that”we will bury you”.    But a century’s experimentation seem to show no implementation of Marxism has proven able to match the performance Of established Capitalism in head to head contests in precisely the the area In which Marx had promised that his ideal Society will prove its long term viability by exhibiting unchallengeable superiority.

What is worse for Marxism, Marx and Engels postulated As industrial societies become more developed, and All manpower and resources are plugged in and utilized, the Productive superiority of a communist society will increase.   Hence communism is a natural end stage of virtuous evolution of productive society.    In actual experience, societies which have adopted Marxist communism seem to have exhibited the greatest competitiveness when it is Underdeveloped, still agrarian and only beginning to industrialize.    The more Developed and industrialized the societies become, the more the ones run by communists fall behind developed Capitalist society in economic performance.    So rather than appearing to be a natural end point of a virtuous evolution, analytically speaking, Marxism appears to be a dead end whose intrinsic inefficiency makes it increasingly untenable in open competition with capitalism as the society develops.
