    Really? Because everything you’ve just said can be applied to Fascism, albeit by entirely different paths traveled.

    Has Fascism not taken the world by storm? Is Fascism not entirely hopeless? I can argue just as easily that Fascism simply hasn’t ever been implemented correctly, despite us having seen its disastrous results numerous times.

    Edit: I wouldn’t, mind you, but I can. I’m opposed to both Fascism and Communism.

      That’s a very fair point.

      That being said, I don’t think Marx would have approved of the attempts at implementing communism in the 20th century.

      Plus, I would argue it’s fair to say Marx’s heart was in the right place, the same cannot be said of the foundational elements of fascism.

      I am also opposed to communism as it was implemented, but I do think the goal for a stateless, classless society is worth considering (at least on philosophical level).
