Thoughts on Karl Marx

Rereading the previous bullets, I had misread a couple of them. The things that struck my interest were essentially public education, graduated income tax, having a central bank, and the like. On rereading, many of the bullets are more specific in nature, but we exist on a spectrum towards it. For instance, here in the US we don't stop inheritance, but rather impose taxes on it.

Humans are imperfect creatures and are easily effected by the 7 deadly sins, they especially affect those who have power over other people.

Oh, this poster has it spot on. Although I would put is way more bluntly. You know, like shake the cage, call them crazy, are you an idiot, kind of bluntly. Because all the pussy footin about this has allowed the "crooks" to tiptoe in and steal control of everything. And now we all got big problems. Communism means somebody has to be the king that makes all the rules for everybody else. So if you got a king, then why even bother with elections? And that is the way it is with Putins Russia. Communism, where he gets all the cash, but passes out only enough to keep the people from revolting. And they get their fake rigged elections to allow people to "think" they are in charge. What a disaster made possible by Marxes ideas. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Democracy and Capitalism aint perfect either. Fake News that didn't use to be a big factor is now actually consuming the free world. Capitalism allows people to sell what they got and keep profit. But those that hit the jack pot with Capitalism have suddenly themselves become King makers without Democratic election. So now we have chaos as these powerful Capitalists buy influence and generate Fake News. This is undermining the Democratic process that builds our government. So the day is coming, like in the movies, where the free world is ruled by the most powerful Capitalists that own all of our governing mechanisms. And no, it wont be Microsoft, nVidia, or the media moguls. It will be China and their economic domination of the world. They are already gunning for the tech jugular of the world in Taiwan. They want them bad because they already have their destiny mapped out. And when I say they, I mean the Communist tyrants that run China. Because Communism is the crow bar to world domination. John Lennon, world savior, would not have stood a chance with all his gullibility.

But I suspect the robots will ruin all these plans of human tyrants, so none of this will matter in the not so distant future...
