So Karl Marx is wrong, from someone who believes Bernie Sanders is a socialist LOL. Your understanding of the history of communism is clearly limited to the basic propaganda you’ve been fed. FYI Stalinism is the complete betrayal of communism which is why Stalin murdered thousands of members of the Left opposition.

Capitalism is great,if you discount 2 world wars, the Korean war, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq not to mention countless US orchestrated coups, assassinations and CIA backed death squads. Oh and don’t forget the exploitation and impoverishment of the third world and the destruction of the planet. That’s a pretty important one. Interesting that those who condemn socialism are so easily able to justify the crimes of capitalism.

Marx’s theory of surplus value is not about taking ’excess’ from those who earned it. You clearly have no interest in real debate. You remind me of a three-year old holding onto their toys and screaming 'mine, mine, mine.’ That’s pretty much the level of the discussion when trying to talk about big-picture issues with someone incapable of seeing beyond their immediate self-interest. Its not really about you but I don’t expect you to ever understand that.
