I'm always happy when I see one of these derivative knock-offs. Anyways, Marxism is deader than Lenin.
< Did you know:
> In 1976 only two thirds of Soviet families had a refrigerator—the USA hit two thirds in the early 1930s. Soviet families had to wait years to get one, and when they finally got a postcard giving notice they could buy one, they had a fixed one hour slot during which they could pick it up. They lost their chance if they did not arrive in time.
> In the same period, the USA had nearly 100m passenger cars. The USSR? Five million. People typically had to wait four to six years, and often as long as ten, to get one.
> There was 30x as much typhoid, 20x as much measles, and cancer detection rates were half as good as in the United States.
> Life expectancy actually fell in the Soviet Union during the 1960s and 1970s.
> The USSR had the highest physician-patient ratio in the world, triple the UK rate, but many medical school graduates could not perform basic tasks like reading an electrocardiogram.
> 15% of the population lived in areas with pollution 10x normal levels.
> By the US poverty measure, well over half of the Soviet population were poor.
> Around a quarter could not afford a winter hat or coat, which cost an entire month’s wages on average (the equivalent of £1700 in UK terms).

One of the most clearly failed economic ideologies of all time. So bad in fact that the downfall of communism came right from the top, the Soviet ruling class in the country which birthed it. The statistics speak for themselves: the USSR was chronically behind the west in every single respect and tried to compensate using the most inhumane and heinous repression. Stalin, at best a mediocre middle-manager, ascended in a truly peter principle fashion to become one of the worst rulers in Russian history. He mismanaged the comintern, nearly lost his country by provoking ww2, and is responsible for untold numbers of death and the virtual eclipse of talent in the Soviet Union. It's truly amusing when people try to deny the reality that Stalin was peak communism, and the Stalinist style went everywhere the soviet one did.
