| Marx's ideas have never been fully applied, or correctly applied. All of the "communist" countries have become so because a group claiming fealty to the working class has revolted, not the working class itself. These are Lenin's ideas, not Marx's. Lenin's ideas have so far failed, then.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill |
