Many zealots believe that it is unfair to Marx’s legacy to hold him culpable
for the perennial savagery by regimes that invoked his name. But the seeds
of tyranny were there from the start.

Marxists assumed that vastly increasing government power was the key to
liberating humanity. But all-powerful regimes quickly become ends in
themselves. In 1932, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin decreed the death
penalty for any theft of state property. In Ukraine, where millions
were starving because of the brutal collectivization of farms, even
children poaching a few ears of corn could be shot.

AS I keep saying,
Just as soon as the 'government' gives itself the authority to enact
'Socialist Reforms' . . . The rich and well connected will use that
authority to enrich themselves at the expense of others.

Also, Please ponder this and give me your opinions.

Under a Capitalistic minded government, the government should see its job
as 'curbing the excesses of capitalism'. Which is why we have Usury laws
and necessary monopolies such as power companies are heavily regulated.
(Also Anti-Trust Laws.) In short, the government should go after 'evildoers'.

Under a Socialist government, the government IS the 'excesses of socialism'.
Who is to tell the thieving governmental entities that they are not allowed
to do 'that'?

"Regardless of Marx’s intentions, his doctrines spurred perpetual dread in hundreds of millions of victims... Two hundred years after Marx’s birth, never forget that a philosophy that begins by idealizing government will end by idealizing subjugation..."
