If we had to start it all over again, we'd still do a market-based economy with a social safety net, democracy and reasonable regulation and taxation. No sane person should ever want to have anything to do with Marx. Agreed?


Totally.

A critical comment regarding the state we’re in does not make me wish for a full blown totalitarian regime.

Marx was a philospher and writer with some points however, and I doubt he personally would appreciate what went down with Lenin & co.

It’s all about balance, and right now the balance is off by quite a bit.

The problem is that capitalism has turned in to ”consumerism”.

Not sure how to crack it, but in a way it’s a bit like a new enlightenment phase needs to take place.
