TURMOIL IN THE UKRAINE / RUSSIA AGGRESSION

[rothschild]

Western Europe looks more communist to me than Russia, Pappy.

iMHO communism and socialism are interchanged much to freely. I think W.E. and Russia are the same; elitists fighting for control. That is the direct result of Socialism. Communism is perfect, that is why it will never be achieved; man isn't. Engel's and Marx's theories work only on paper; once the transitional step, socialism, is achieved, human nature takes over and mess is all that's left. 

I think you're being much too kind to Marx. I think he was a fraud as far as philosophy goes, evidenced by the fact that the Communist Manifesto is the sort of cheap political pamphlet that no legit philosopher would admit to authoring, and he contradicts what he'd previously published, where he asserted that a communist revolution would occur organically as a post-industrial phenomenon.
