If the Soviet Union produces the first satellite or sends a man into space, Marxism could turn the corner. Something to keep your eye on.

I told a pro marxist socialist pinko communist loving professor in college it would never work because the world will always be unfair and nothing could ever be equal. She said that's not true and spouted a bunch of bullshit about equality and distribution and wealth. I told her that was all well and good but it all goes right out the window when the guy next door has a hotter wife than you and suddenly competition jealousy and greed appear in your perfect utopia. She :psyboom: and left the room crying. Sorry babe.

It will always be around and will always have to be stomped down. One of the sucky things about being human is we like to feel life is fair, and at the same time we like to win and get all the trim. That duality of the human mind will always suck.

I've had a look at a few more of these true stories of military veterans attacking educators and there's something I don't understand. The military is one of the most Marxist organisations in America, the Government provides soldiers with free housings, free food, free medical care, free education and a bunch of other stuff but they're attacking professors for promoting what they've benefited from. Are the soldiers angry that they no longer have access to the benefits or Marxism or are the educators from a different denomination of Marxism?

So how is Cuba doing compare to Canada?

Cuba would be better compared to other nations with similar historical development, other Latin American countries, and not Canada which it shares little history with. Cuba has the second highest HDI in all of Latin America, behind Chile.
