"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”

Carl Marx's plan for communism had many good ideas and for the working class it looks pretty good, but it has many faults. In that regard so does the capital ecomonomy of the U.S. that we see today. For anyone to hear the ideas of Karl Marx and Communism and atomatically say EVIL, is complete foolishness, but its what many people have been doing for many years. Whether you want to admit it or not the rich run our country, in a Karl Marx society this could not happen because there is no class system. I feel that if humans started with the ideas of Karl Marx first and didn't develop a class system, I think Communism could have very easily worked. But because humans seem to have discrimination ingraved in them, it seems bound to fail. When you read Marx you feel like it really could work, and i think it could, but it just has such a small chance. I think in the end it is peoples fault that a system that could be so much better then capitalism can't work. Its not the system itselfs' fault, its the people and the mindset of the people who are going against and even the people who are trying for its success' fault.

Something that really bothers me...

Something that really bothers me is when people use the bases of faith and old tradition to choose who they are going to vote for or support. It just blows me away when the facts obviously show that one party would support you in a better way, but people look at their "morals" and atomatically hate them. People who judge without knowing all the facts are just crazy to me. I think they are in the end going to be one of the major reasons for a collapse. People don't realize what they actually are to government, they don't understand that politicians use things like tradition to just control them more. I truly think our country is in a crisis and everyone is too ignorant to just accept it, deal with it, and fight back. This also goes along with global warming. The major countries have been using our earth without consequence for way too long and i think now its finally starting to catch up with us. I feel in the next few years if something doesn't change we are going to start seeing these consequences more and more. I think people need to stop relying on faith and old tradition to save them and start to act. Stop just accepting everything your told and start looking for the facts...
