Where karl marx and Friedrich Engeles ahead of there time?

Be realistic, people are not perfect. There will never be a utopian happy go lucky world. What do you say to the people who work harder or contribute more and cannot be rewarded because they have to provide for those who do not contribute equally? Marxist and socialist systems have repeatedly shown that due to human nature (people will always want more for themselves, their family, friends, race, party, group, etc...) they are inherently flawed. There will always be favoritism and corruption as long as people are trusted to administer government. That will always run contrary to communist and socialist ideals. I think a democratic, capitalist society is the most effective system devised so far. Of course, due to the same natural human flaws, it is not perfect. But it can be improved and changed, as a democratic society allows for its constituents to hold representatives accountable and vote them out or pressure for ideals they desire. Our system, I believe, is more in tune with human nature. The flaws and inequities in our system require active popular participation and awareness to correct.

You like the Theory this is clear, please think about the adherents of this Theory managed to kill more human beings than Adolf Hitler. Land reform killed Ukrainians by the Millions. The ends justified the means. Cambodia and Cuba. Explain How Castro got his Millions as is true with any Marxist dictator. Tell us about Zimbabwe where a country that used to EXPORT FOOD to Africa in the past because of efficient farming methods now imports food and a loaf of bread takes a wheel barrel of money to obtain.The ends justify the means. One must first have wealth in order to share it. Communists steal from everyone and give it to them selves. That is what Nationalization is all about.

I suggest you practice what you preach Go down to the homeless shelter, take 9 homeless people. Divide all of your belongings between yourselves evenly. Now, every payday, do the same thing. After a while, you will realize that it is not worth it for you to go to work anymore, so you will stop working. Now, we will have 10 homeless people. Socialism doesn't work!

Where people are starving around the world these days the principle cause is the adoption of Marxist theories by one thick headed bunch of dolts after another. In China, the direct result of adopting communism was that 20-30 million people starved to death during the "Great Leap Forward." While this was probably the numerically largest catastrophe brought about by communism the relative death toll was even worse in other areas burdened by Marxism. The hideous famines in Ethiopia were created by the Marxist regime that overthrew the monarchy and the killing fields of Cambodia's Khymer Rouge come immediately to mind. Marx was wrong about just about everything. His dialectic, which purports to explain history, has been universally rejected by scholars as arrant nonsense. His economic notions of "surplus value" are utterly wrong and essentially meaningless drivel. Marx, you may remember, predicted that Germany or some other highly industrialized nation would be the first nation to have a communist revolution. But Communism has never been implemented by a spontaneous revolution in any industrialized nation. When part of Germany became Communist it was only because the guns of the Soviets were to the heads of the people. Marxisam is an idea that has been tried, multiple times, in a variety of circumstances and failed. It has been tossed on the trash heap of history by the very people who lived under it.

I agree with the person who talked about the 9 homeless people becoming 10 homeless people. Socialism does not work at all. I mean, sure, at first it seems great, on paper. But when you put it into motion, you can see it just isn't meant to be.
