The poster you are responding to is correct PROVIDED that Marxists get their message out. Yes, that is difficult to do in today's media climate, but it is happening slowly, but surely. I could give anecdotal instances, but one poll relatively recently (Rasmussen of all things) said that 11% of the population believed in a "communist" United States. That's a pretty sizable chunk of propagandists right there.

As V.I. Lenin once said (paraphrasing), "Sometimes years go by with nothing much happening and then sometimes years go by in months."
