MARXISM.
What is Marxism?
It is mainly about government control of the economy.
It could be expanded to government control of the social issues realm.
It calls for world revolution to free the working class from the vagaries of capitalism.
It calls for confiscating the wealth from the rich to use in service of the poor.
It provide's a belief system for those who are involved in the class struggle.
Does it work?
I had a Training Instructor in the United States Air Force tell our unit in 1986 that he agreed with everything in Communism, but it did not work.
Meaning, on paper Marxism sound's like a philosophy that has an impenetrable logic, except it has never worked in reality.
Theory is great, reality is harsher.
In essence, like Winston Churchill might say Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the rest.
