Well, I'm back

As for being wrong about you--I think not.  I've discussed these issues with you long enough to have a general idea of what and how you think.  Like many Boomers you think yourself complex when in reality your views are incredibly simplistic.  As to being wrong about Marxists in particular, I know I'm not wrong.  I spent decades as a Marxist eventually obtaining leadership positions in Communist Parties, and being recognized as a respected ideologist.  I've probably forgotten more about Marxism-Leninism than you've ever learned.  I'm also not wrong about the so-called progressives either.  The Marxists use that group as USEFUL IDIOTS.

Remember, it was you who was the Marxist.  In fact, it was only you, if I remember the positions of the many posters to this board and its antecedent.  Marxism was dead when the modern economy emerged in the 1920s.  It's even less relevant today.  A bigger question: what replace capitalism when AI replaces human work?  I know I won't live to see it, but it's coming.  Under that model, libertarianism will devolve to the rule of the mob or absolute autocracy.  I'll bet on the latter.

As a social system, neither is acceptable, so some advanced planning is in order.
