Given that the country is riven with structural barriers to social mobility, its economy is distortively stacked in favour of the interests of financial capital, returns to labour have been steadily eroded, and inequalities are soaring and entrenched privilege is once again the key to achievement and outcomes, the position that the country could do with a bit of Marxism is entirely sensible and mainstream now grow up.
The thing you pissy little idiots who grew up w**king over pictures of thatcher need to realise is: Marx was right about almost everything he actually wrote about.
“Thus we find every tyrant backed by a Jew, as is every Pope by a Jesuit. In truth, the cravings of oppressors would be hopeless, and the practicability of war out of the question, if there were not an army of Jesuits to smother thought and a handful of Jews to ransack pockets. … The fact that 1,855 years ago Christ drove the Jewish money-changers out of the temple, and that the money-changers of our age, enlisted on the side of tyranny, happen again to be Jews is perhaps no more than a historic coincidence.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Loan,” 1856
Seems unlikely Marx churned out loads of Jew-hating stuff as he was Jewish. But in any event I didn’t say he never said anything wrong. His social analysis is almost without fault, spot kn

Did Marx actually write “The Russian Loan”? I hadn’t heard of it before, and it seems his authorship is contested.

The Contrarian seems to have forgotten the consequences of the last Marxist Experiment under Pol Pot in Cambodia.

These are my principles and, if you don’t like them, I have others.
That sort of stuff?

Ironically of course the current Pope, who is a Jesuit, has been accused by the Right of being a Marxist.

Soviet style “Marxist” Leninism and Pol Pot etc were not true marxist ventures. Marx was not a social architect anyway, he was a social analyst.
