I was chatting with someone the other day and in the conversation, she mentioned that her husband is a Marxist. I didn't want to get into it with her, as we don't know each other well, but I wanted to say, really? A really, truly Marxist? I mean, a socialist, sure, I know plenty of them, and while I don't necessarily think it's the best style of government, I think it's certainly a workable style of government. But Marxism? Is there anyone left alive who thinks this is a system that can work? Or are they really just socialists who think calling themselves Marxists is cooler somehow, or gives them more cred of some kind? And what kind would that be? Any thoughts?
