Sure, but like the world has already tried Marxism and found it to be crap. I'm all about trying something else, but it's hard to get excited about another failed idea.

there is no one 'marxism' to try. we also tried totally unrelegulated capitalism and it blew the world up in the great depression. rather than say 'loooks like we tried capitalism time to pack it in' most countries tried a different kind of capitalism and its worked for a while. now its gone back to not working in many ways. what ur thinking of when u say 'marxism' is totalitarian communism which everyone agrees doesnt work,just like gilded age unregulated capitalist insanity doesn't. there are other forms of socialism and who's to say what other forms of economic organisation may come about that are neither capitalist nor socialist.

I love this sort of "there's no examples of it so it must be poo poo ergo capitalism is best" logic.


its only americans that do this really. other countries in europe for example still have viable and popular socialist parties. its not a bad word over there. in america though 'socialism' is equated with totalitarian command-economy communist russki dictatorship. the problem is most people falsely equate 'markets' with 'capitalist markets' when thats compeltely false

People get confused about science. It's not that a field is "true science" or not. Science is a method and there are degrees of adherence to that method that we use to judge the strength of the evidence generated. The controlled experiment is the gold standard of evidence generation.

It's so funny with all the favors that never gonna happen and even more fun with all the careers utterly imploding. Like the sycophant in Chief Huma Abedin who went back to her pervert husband Carlos Danger and who now wants to sell all the dirty secrets!

I lolled at how Chelsea got a consulting job with CNN which paid $200k a year even though she had around half a hour of total air time.

Also Hillary was the matchmaker who set up Carlos Danger with Huma

I think someone earlier posted about Chelsea's CV in which every position she had held was because of nepotism and nothing was of substance.

Haha, Hillary sure know how to pick them! It was quite funny in the documentary about Carlos Danger's failure to get elected as mayor how pretty much nobody in the campaign gave a poo poo about Carlos. Because everyone who worked in the campaign only did it because they wanted to get close to Huma, since she was Hillary's protege and it was supposed to be her turn after 2016 :allears:

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
Hilary being unlikable aside, it was silly of the DNC to agree to run someone who just cant seem to avoid getting mired in scandal after scandal after scandal. To even reference the pattern of supposed impropriety dating back to the late 70s meant you were just buying into the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Not her most pragmatic endeavor, forcing herself and her decades of baggage into the candidacy.

But, all the pundits and talking heads on TV said that those billionaires and foreign governments donated because they really care about feeding starving children!

I wonder how many angry phone calls she is/was getting from donors who now have to bribe someone else to get their kid a cushy D.C. job or buy influence for their special interest?
