Marx believed in what he preached, therefore he was not a liar. The world always was, and still is, full of liars. The liars have been Marxists, Communists, capitalists, and the list goes on..

I strongly disagree with his proposed solution. A free market would solve the problem. But first you must acknowledge that the US is NOT a free market.

Get rid of the Federal Reserve and all the laws that stiffle the creative man and let the market set the price. If we cannot afford high gas, the use of Oil will lower.

NO SOCIALIST STATES!!!!

@thbyrnes I can't believe people still preach this kind of thing in the 21st century. A free market is a completely theroretical concept that has been tried and failed many times. The reason: Capital accumulation and concentration. If you can counter those two through rational taxation and active government economic policy, you could keep a market, but stifle the rise of major corporations. That, i believe, is a way to a somewhat free market.

better information and ideas than the american politicians who front for the oil companies interests seem to talk about.

Peymaania, elected officials are caught in a trap, a game that has strictly defined yet unstated rules. Vote out Democrat A, vote in Republican B, and policies A-Z continue unaffected. Vote out Republican B, Vote in Democrat C, and the game goes on.

Until the power of money to fund elections is changed, the game will not change. Voting is now meaningless, unfortunately. Need drastic campaign finance reform NOW!

If you really want a book on oil and how in controls the geopolitics of the world, read Anthony Sampson's book,"The Seven Sisters." It will blow your mind. It's not even published anymore, but Amazon sells it used!

Now NATO Moved In When Their Are Less Amount Of Terrorists They Are Still Struggling.From Here We All Can Guess Or Visualise How Difficult It Would Be For NATO To Give Strong Hand To Russians.

Nato Joint Forces Of USA And Britain Are Still Fighting Hard When RUSSIA Almost Reduced Or Minimised The Terrorism When Terrorist Activities In Afghanistan And Neighbours Were Peak Russia Fought Against Them Alone.

[critics11]

One Thing Sure If RUSSIA Do Get Involve Along With Other COUNTRIES To Fight Against Terrorist Terrorism Will Get Dimnish Completely Russian Troops Left Afghanistan When Nato Moved In.Whatever It Is It Would Be Hard For NATO To Defend RUSSIA If Another WAR Errupts.
