Yep, Marx is dead and so is socialism. It has failed wherever it has been attempted.

If you think these protestors are uncivil, wait until we get another Republican president and a Republican majority in both houses.

They will be NUTZ.

<<An honest protest is ok, but these idiots went to the L.A. school of civil protest, I think...>>

I would like to point out that out of 30,000 or 35,000+ people protesting, there were only a few (maybe 200 or less) that resorted to violence or vandalism. One group of about 30 people with black masks did a lot of the damage. Of the 200 or less that did vandalism, I agree with your above statement. But you shouldnt lump in every one else.

I don't know whether Opioi wants to replace capitalism with socialism or not. So far all he has said is that he sees the downside of capitalism. That doesn't mean he wants to replace it, it could mean that he wants to cure it.

As Aristotle said, everything in moderation. Including capitalism.
