225. Not so sad as a die-hard Marxist
Dawgs--you would be damn surprised at how well I am informed--including time spent in the Marxist world in the 1970s.

The trouble is that outside of noticing a few VERY obvious things about Capitalism, Marx wasn't very bright, his worldview was hopelessly primitive, and his followers were monsters. In 1968, half the world's populations were governed by Marxist governments. 21 years later, only a few cranks wanted to be associated with this thoroughly discredited, bloodthirsty doctrine. Now if you actually believe that Marxism failed because Reagan told Gorbachev to "tear down this wall!" your worldview is simply goofy. But most of you armchair Marxists are in major denial over the fact that outside of the totally corrupt, NO ONE wanted to live in the societies the Marxists created. NO ONE!
