[QUOTE="JustSomeBloke, post: 75153346, member: 413014"] If you want to be pedantic, I'll call it 'Applied Marxism'. [URL='https://www.jstor.org/stable/1807516'][SIZE=4]Applied Marxism in Soviet Russia[/SIZE][/URL] Are you saying the rioting, arson, looting, shooting, and destruction is explained by people feeling that their voices were not heard? Many would claim that BLM consisted only of people making their voices heard through peaceful protest. Who were all the people lobbing bricks through windows, stealing goods, and burning places down? Can you give an example of governance modelled on a Marxist framework that has been an unequivocal success? If Marxism doesn't have any means of improving society, people might wonder what the point of it is. Here in the UK, there is no law that prohibits the setting up of co-operatives. And one of the grocery shops I regularly use is exactly that. Every time I visit they scan my card and I get a little back because I'm a member of the co-operative. Funnily enough it's called Co-Op. Why would anyone want to legislate, govern, or operate a framework that forces the dissolution of private ownership into co-operatives or collectivist organisations? People are already free to run collectivist and co-operative organisations. Is that not the case in America? Banks are at least partly dependent on human greed, envy, and the associated materialism. If you took that away, and encouraged people to save up to buy only what they need, a lot of capitalism, credit cards, and loans would disappear. [/QUOTE]
