So what's the running total -- about a million lives per year? And who knows how much wealth his idiot followers have cost us even to this day.

We've spent rought $15 trillion, equivalent to the current national debt, since the 1960's on the War on Poverty and the best we had to show for it was a roughly 2% decrease in the poverty rate. Interestingly, the poverty rate has recently upticked slightly.
That's an interesting enough topic for it's own thread, but I'm gonna need some links and details, just so I know you're not making shit up. Seriously. It'd make a great thread.
Given how you've just been eviscerated in one thread concerning your complete ignorance of Marx and Marxism, it is curious that you decided to open a second.
Karl Marx, in principle, had some decent, debatable ideas. Of course, they were ideas based purely on theory. Trotsky and Lenin came along and manipluted them for their money's worth and the rest is history. And no, before anyone suggests it, I am not in agreement with Marx, or a Marx fan. Just pointing out the absurdity of ignorance.
Marx was a pretentious idiot whose theory didn't work in his own time and has never worked at any time since.
Right. Because Communism never became any kind of major political movement, and if the proletariat ever did rise up, the result certainly wasn't a dictatorship. :bullseye:
Perhaps they have, but there's something inherently flawed in those theories that leads to authoritarian and genocidal lunacy.
That would require the Marxist view of history to be correct in the first place. It is not. Marxists needed to change stuff to get reality to fit the theories.
