Almost every communist I have ever met was some sort of intellectual worker with a means of support not directly related to productivity. They have their followers among the working class but few of those understand that the end goal of Marxism is anarchy. Anarchy is fine if you are not trying to build something but a disaster for anything that requires contact with physical reality. You can tell the foolishness of a philosophy by the things it doesn’t think are real and money is a good example.

There is a kind of symbiosis at work if you don’t have a virtuous population then you won’t get virtuous leaders. If you don’t have virtuous leaders, you won’t get a virtuous population. What we now have is a youth culture of chaos. Three generations of people that didn’t mature properly. We are stuck in the hell of adolescent values.

I agree, political chaos seems to be right around the corner. We all have a pervasive sense it is coming our way. People are blaming it on Donald Trump. He isn’t the cause. He will only be the focal point used by the left to create the chaos. Both the left and the right’s major players perch on the ends of an axis balanced on the point of a needle. History tips the axis one way or the other from time to time when the major players act, and most of society slides back and forth as the scale tips, depending on who’s in charge at the moment. All governments and societies are born, atrophy and eventually die, at least so far.

I agree with your concrete statement that the final goal of Marxism is anarchy. Not too many people can see that. Certainly, very few proponents of socialism or Marxism see it. I could take you through the logic of why you are correct, but apparently you figured that out. There are no circumstances where anarchy is fine. Anarchy forces us to revert to the survival of the fittest. Oddly enough, that’s exactly what capitalism is as well, but there are different parameters and rules of the game. The similarities and differences are both dramatic and subtle. The major difference is pure capitalism allows and even demands that the cream rises to the top and the producers are exclusively entitled to the rewards of their efforts. Socialism a.k.a. Communism-lite suppresses the cream because it destroys incentive. What little production occurs is confiscated and redistributed. The differences and similarities will populate another blog. All forms of government are about competition in dozens of different ways between individuals and the state.

The moment man leaves the womb he enters a competitive environment and a power struggle for position and survival. That’s what life becomes, competition among peers, lessers, or superiors, all vying for position. In the beginning, humans raped and pillaged to solidify their power positions. It was anarchy by definition. That Scenario lasted thousands of years while society slowly evolved. Eventually, men formed societies and created a more sophisticated social order than survival of the fittest. They axiomatically understood that strength in numbers was the key to competitive success.

Eons passed until society created money and made it available to all, which mitigated man’s propensity to slaughter his neighbors and steal their stuff. We finally had a way to deal with each other in a nonviolent fashion, but it didn’t alter the power struggle by any means. Society, as a collection of like-minded individuals, eventually realized some kind of rules of the road were needed to modify aggression and protect those who are physically and emotionally weak. Those concepts became the harbinger of religion and morality.

Regardless, men still went to war. All wars began at the hands of a few tyrants and eventually ended through attrition and conquest. The average schlep had no say in the matter. His place was on the battlefield or producing weapons after being convinced deity was on his side. Without getting too verbose, that’s what men and society consisted of for dozens of centuries, but even now, we still kill each other for power positions.

Society and governments evolved over the centuries. The Upanishads and Vedas described the Hindus and there were Buddhist writings that described China until Mao decided ignorant people were easier to enslave and burned most of the books. Despotism was the form of government that existed for almost all of man’s history until Athens and Rome. Still, they were authoritarian enclaves attempting democracy for the first time since Hammurabi. To understand the republic of Rome we can read Cicero and Virgil. Solon, Cleisthenes, and Ephialtes were the architects of Greek democracy. All our democratic governments and republics today evolved from the intellectual efforts of those men.

You’re probably wondering why the soliloquy. All forms of government have been tried a multitude of times, always with some success, then eventual failure. Democracy is always the attempt of good men and women to create a system of governance that is fair and equitable for all. There is a Catch-22. No system of governance or collection of benevolent authoritarian rules, even if they are accepted by everyone, will operate successfully without being underpinned by integrity and morality.

America’s founders were particularly brilliant with their three branches of government and system of checks and balances. They followed the Roman Senate but the two other equal branches, executive and judicial, balanced the equation better than ever before.

So, what’s my point? Marxism demands the system must descend into anarchy as the eventual consequence of policy. That is inevitable in all cases. The psychology of it is demonstrable but like all complex things, it takes time to make the point and is almost impossible to prove to a Marxist zealot.

When Marxists incorporate their system of governance, they never consciously realize the outcome will be the descent into anarchy. They have been convinced by those who wish to destroy autonomy that Marxism is the Holy Grail of freedom and fairness for all. Most of the proponents of Heinrich Karl Marx are the products of contemporary education systems run by socialists and have never been taught properly or given the intellectual acuity to sort reality from delusion.

The reality is this: after dozens of centuries and a myriad of attempts to bring sophisticated government of fairness to all people, Marxism will bring humanity right back to square one when we first crawled from the cave and anarchy.

My website has a blog column. I am constantly assaulted and called every name in the book because I am not a proponent of Marxism or socialism. Apparently, that is the stock in trade for almost all our college professors and teachers. I often attempt to argue why socialism and Marxism are failures, and extol the validity and efficacy of capitalism, but their criticism is always loud, vulgar, and disgusting because people who don’t have the intellectual acumen to contribute an antithetical response to a debate point, know nothing else than screaming epithets and insults.
