  2.  @januszkowalski5345  Basic logical fallacy argument of "if...then". When everyone is living in poverty, to the extent that nuclear engineers and technicians are stealing materials from nuclear reactors and selling them (see the internal report on Chernobyl 1 month prior to the 1986 disaster, its 2nd major incident after the partial core meltdown of reactor #2 in 1982), while pilots and aircraft maintainers guzzle hydraulic fluid, they can be called whatever the system wants to, and after all, they were in the most elite of professions. Once the whole system comes crashing down, you can claim that tens of millions are now poor. I think your definition of poverty and mine are completely different. "After all your system knows not just how to oppress, dispossess, bankrupt , terrorize and massacre the dissidents , how to organzie foreign interventions and wars of agression , how to manufacture consent where there is none or should be none." You just described the Soviet Union. Oppression was the rule of peoples within, as well as those on its borders. Ethnic peoples were routed from their homes and relocated or murdered, including my relatives. Dissidents were imprisoned or shot. Foreign interventions and aggression into nations like Finland, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Afghanistan were executed to the detriment of all, where consent was often manufactured. The USSR was the biggest state sponsor of terrorism during the Cold War as well, helping any violent groups with technical support, training, and equipment, proliferating the Kalashnikov rifle so extensively that it even became the symbol of Marxist revolutionaries on their flags. The USSR used terrorists as proxies to fight the US and help spawn the Palestinian movement after Israel turned down the Russians for Foreign Military Sales, and instead chose to source aircraft and other systems from the US. The United States has helped develop more nations, donated more charity from private organizations, and assisted more nations in their quest for freedom than any other political entity in history. You're so brainwashed with Marxist-Communist ideology (Karl Marx called it "meine Scheisse"), that your responses are predictable. We wouldn't be having this conversation without the US and free enterprise.

  3.  @januszkowalski5345  Despite the massive success of the Soviet intelligence operations, they still didn't even come close to achieving a comparable economy or civilized lifestyle for the inhabitants of the Warsaw Pact and USSR member states. These limitations weren't based on the ideologies alone, but were more of a constraint of Russia's geography magnified by the worst political ideology Russia and her neighbors have ever been subjected to. The US does have a very embedded, multi-generational curse of Marxists dating back to the 1800s, and every single one of the programs these Marxists launched contributed greatly to the lessening of America, the worst and most cancerous being the public schooling system and Department of Education. The metrics you use from Das Kapital are a recipe for the complete degradation of a society wherever they're applied. Karl Marx's apartment is a microcosm of failure that you can apply to a nation in similar scale, with 4 of his 7 children dying from malnourishment while a do-nothing failure of a child from a capitalist family pays for his rent and cleaning lady. In return, he impregnates the cleaning lady, tells his wife that Engels is the father, while writing his "Scheisse" on his broken table in the rat-infested slums on London's East End. His ideas should be seen in that context and universally condemned by anyone with a thinking mind. His life and thoughts were a monstrous abortion that led to the enslavement and murder of hundreds of millions of people in Asia, let alone Africa and Central America. His ideas continue to handicap Europe and the United States to the extent that millions of people still think they have any merit in how one should run a society.
