Really? I think it's pretty clear by now that Marxist ideology has/and will always stagnate (go ahead and blame the wealthy/private property for that). Learn the basics of sociology, then spout your dated nonsense. North Korea is the only nation on earth that still abides by your 'sound economic policy', and they're doing real well from what I hear...

Human nature doesn't change, we can only adapt to it.

Karl Marx spent a long time in the British Library, studying economics as a jouirnalist. His father had to convert to Christianity so he could find work denied to Jews. Marxism is based on the sound policy of all thrifty people. It says "What do we need? How do we get It? What are "the means of production?" Who should own and manage the means of production? Marx came after both the American & French Revolutions when the WORKING CLASS BECAME AWARE OF ITSELF AS THE MOST VITAL PART OF SOCIETY. Instead of letting silly monarchs control the means of production (everything used by workers) & wasting on courtly extravagance, workers were to own the fields, forests, structures, etc. They worked and produced a profit but it was shared with the workers. Capitalism is the exact opposite of Marxism. Capitalism means people with money were permitted to put into private ownership the natural resources from which profits are generated. The USA got started on capitalism based on the private ownership of slaves. Anti-semitism arouses some fear of Marxism, but it's a sound economic policy.
