Republicans like to project that Marx is a Liberal fantasy, yet they follow his writings more closely.

Neither party subscribes to communism, as that is the perverted extreme of a socialist agenda.

Conservatives do subscribe to the antithesis of communism, unbridled capitalism... which is just as damaging.

"Conservatives do subscribe to the antithesis of communism, unbridled capitalism... which is just as damaging."

...and I've often wondered, when are we going to hold capitalism responsible for turning many of our cities into vast human wastelands...

...IMO, no greater a failure of an economic system...
