Today's situation in the capitalist world shows that there is only one system in the world which can solve all the complex problems of these societies.

Dear Farhan, I think Internet has made one thing possible to collect the information.Please try to read the history of The Soviet and other Eastern block counties.I am that sure you be will be shocked knowing that all these countries made a great success in the every field of life without the expoliting anty countries.

Lets not resort to personal attacks here.

Farhan, you've started off with the wrong concept and definition of Marxism. Secondly, you talk about 'small government', 'low taxes', and 'individual freedom', without defining these terms in your context. 3rd, you've made too many claims in your reply without any backing up of facts, and you present your argument without substantiating it. Kindly bring references and documented events and evidences to back all the allegations you've put on Marxism.

Farhan: "one might even say" that you are spouting complete rubbish. Every line of your two vague and senseless paragraphs is drivel. They are lies truly worthy of a servant of rich bankers. Pat your self on the back.

Every time Marxism has been applied in human history, its led to more suffering, more death, more pain, more environmental destruction. One might even say the function of left-wing economics is to increase overall human suffering to a higher amount. Marxism is not the answer, its the sickness.

Sometimes the tone over the internet is harsh, though not intended to be so. Please understand that.

You're giving the choice between a financial system destroyed by the government and between absolute government take-over (Marxism). Two sides of the same coin. What about real economic freedom - Low Taxes, Small Government, Individual Freedom? The failures of Communism/Marxism that you pointed out are legitimate but were not rebutted.
