No but it's nice. What is wrong with hard work to make a living for yourself and your family.

Communism is outdated not just in that it was a nice idea for the lazy before the fall of the USSR but now, post soviet block, it is a well proven load of bollocks that has no chance of working.

It's capitalist now and a lot more fucked economically.

Love to see the long list of lefty states that have worked well in the long term, have no opression and no state run death squads or re education camps.

I will await the list but won't hold my breath.

Capitalism in the first half of the 20th century did wonders then with its great wars and its huge economic crises? Capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century is again creating such situations, with its anarchic globalisation of production and finance.

A look at recent events in Argentina will give you an idea of what can be expected elsewhere in the decades ahead.

Throughout most of the 1990s Argentina had been a model globalised national economy. Its president and ministers were the toast of economists everywhere for the zeal with which they had deregulated, privatised and welcomed in overseas capital.

Then the country was hit by a financial crisis that began in Thailand, on the opposite side of the globe. Argentina’s foreign debt mushroomed out of control. The domestic market for its goods collapsed. Unemployment rocketed. The state froze everyone’s bank accounts. Argentina's establishment split down the middle over what to do and then people took to the streets — the unemployed, manual workers, government employees, sections of the middle classes — marched on the presidential palace to fight with police for 24 hours before driving the government from office.
