1. Once upon a time there were several nation states who studied Marx at length.

They read his works, it was accepted State dogma. They may have studied it but obviously did not understand it, look where they are today. My opinion the 1% has more to do with alpha human behavior of our species of ape. Marx theory works on an intellectual level but does not account for human behavior.

As the little girl says in the ATT commercial "I want more". Our species of Ape is very greedy and will use any tools available to realize that greed.
