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. 

I get why younger people who are fixed in the box of their own life circumstances might like debating Marxism. It's fun, contrarian, often has a youthful activist core who believe various fanciful ideas. But really, that story is dead. It's possible to discuss class struggle, disparity etc while not falling for the notion it is the singular engine of history (it isn't, much of it is downstream from race).  

A truly amusing point is that the anti-white Baizou attacks their own socioeconomic interests in any case, by seeking to undermine their own civilization's cohesion and class interests being nurtured under populism. Perhaps this point is lost in the bourgeoise false consciousness of the prog narrative. Funded of course, by the billionaire class

>Stalin's industrialization was incredible- ACK
A fraction of what happened in the States
>Noooo it has to be GDP per capita GDP that's not right!!!
per capita comparable to Peru...
>Nooooooo it's because imperialism means the US was super fast at developing USSR was too nice!!
Or because they didn't retard their economic allocation with a subpar command economy while throwing the population into chronic turmoil

As per democratic socialism, check out what's happening to the EU. They have the exact same problem with overcentralization of power by committee in groups which don't reflect the needs of the population.

Even a marginal 2% growth rate compounded over 10 years would result in significant disparities. Euros are choosing to trade growth for happiness, and have become one of the most mismanaged and squandered peoples in the world. In addition to one about to be buried by demographic changes which the state is too unresponsive to respond to.

But of course, the left argument here all boils down to
