STU: "Marxism is pretty damned cool."

Really?!?!?

For all of your rantings about the divisions and wars that religion has cost the world, the greatest numbers of deaths have been done in the name of Marxism in the 20th Century and its inane drive to make the whole world one class and be the same (proletariat).

Marxism denies the basics of human nature and ultimately depends on brute force to force people to go against their nature and to comply. It is, in my mind, one of the most foolish of all of the philosophies that our little minds have developed - period. Sure, as an abstraction it has its intriguing ideas - but those are merely abstractions. I would do just as well to wonder what it would be like to fly off of the Empire State Building and view the city as I float down on gossamer wings in slow, lazy circles. And, I would be just as foolish as a Marxist if I attempted it - since I would be denying the reality of man's condition here on earth - just as the Marxist does.

It is a pity that millions upon millions were bullied, intimidated, stolen from, starved, murdered, herded out of cities and forced to work in gulags just because some deluded poli-sci majors couldn't figure out that you can't force the square pegs (human beings) into the round holes (the Marxist ideal) so they took out their frustrations on the pegs.
