'Marxism taught me what society was'

[KJ]

Marxism taught me what society was. I was like a blindfolded man in a forest, who doesn't even know where north or south is. If you don't eventually come to truly understand the history of the class struggle, or at least have a clear idea that society is divided between the rich and the poor, and that some people subjugate and exploit other people, you're lost in a forest, not knowing anything.

– Fidel Castro on discovering Marxism, 2009

societies will hardly ever work. Because they have too many people, you cannot relate to all of them, our brain is limited and therefore why would you care about people you don't know. Look into Dumbar, around 2000 people is the max amount of people before corruption.

Yeah, one the same note, pre-society/agricultural communities were almost always communist in a sense.

I haven't really looked into Marx ideas. But the problem is that socialist governments take money from people who work and pay taxes and give it to people who do not do jack shit. Look into Venezuela. 300% anual devaluation and 94% poverty

I don’t like ‘socialist’ countries’ policies either. I must remind that the government/state can’t exist under a true communist society.

And, by the way, Venezuela’s crisis was largely caused by a decline in oil prices.

Bro, look at Argentina. No oil prices
