Thirty years of the administrations of Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr and Clinton and Bush Jr and Obama have done more to confirm Marx’s prediction of the rich getting richer and everyone else falling behind than 75 years of the Soviet Union.

It’s only fair, since 75 years of the Soviet Union confirmed the flaws in Marx’s theories.

For everyone who will comment:
Marx laid the foundation for sociological and economic questions. He never proposed what type of society would be created to get there. That only happened much later with the works of Lenin to control one of the largest countries and many other communists were inspired by that, as we see with Cuba, China, Vietnam, and initially North Korea.

What about the administrations of Trump and Biden…. COVID created a giant whooshing sound as wealth was transferred from poor to rich.
