Believe it or not: Karl Marx is making a comeback

16. It's true some will always

want to be 'more equal than others.' The question we as enlightened people must address, in my opinion, is how much inequality should we allow to exist. Also, it's true that Marx lived in his own fairyland utopia. As do I, as do you, and as does everyone. Regarding the suggestion that in reality it never would work. Neither does pure capitalism. I think most people who have picked up on Marx and contributed greatly to positive political and economic developments throughout the world recognize this, and are trying to improve upon the model. Certainly the utopian model can lead to disastrous effects. But genuine democratic socialistic practices can an do provide much better distribution of resources and great overall freedom and happiness in countries that try it in a progressive manner, with a human face. If you look at the recent statistics on the countries with the highest rates of self reported happiness and autonomy, they all practice elements of democratic socialism deriving from Marx, in ways that make profound meaningful impact on every person both economically and socially.
