There is a quote at the heart of Marxism. ’From each according to his ability. To each according to his need.’ The reality is more like this. ’To the new communist elite according to their greed. Or else.’ The twin problems are the lack of control of the workers over the elites, and the lack of a tie between the ability and the need.
Unfortunately, the communist twin concepts are a lot closer to human nature than the Marxist ones.
Now I could acknowledge that there is not now and has never been a Marxist government. Marxism is too far distant from human nature. Recent history does not lack for governments that call themselves Communist. Their existence makes most people avoid the scam like the plague.
I visited Marxism 201. I found little but one sentence slogans that gave no clue as to how to bridge the gulf between Marxism and human nature.
You might try to bridge the gulf yourself? How would you try to solve the twin problems? Declining to do this would be regarded by me at least as a total fail?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
