Coming from a hard-line marxist the poster's remark is particularly appropriate. Everywhere his philosophy has taken power, death and misery have followed (Russia, the PRC, Cambodia, North Korea, etc., etc.). Ah , but the traditional lefty get-out clause there would be that the problems in those countries are down to corrupt government. Conveniently forgetting that human nature is a core part of any society and its government. This was something that marx conveniently forgot about in his treatise that assumed people were robotic simpletons all marching to the same tune and all putting the common good above themselves and their familes. Yeah , right. Friedman vs. marx, wow that is a hard choice. Marx is a simple solution to a complex problem and hence doesn't require you to think - that makes it the easy option for braindead left wingers. B2003 |
