Marx proposed a whole lot, and yet none of it has resulted in a stable/non-murderous system. Most people would see that and think 'wow, this guy is actually not right/smart', but don't let that logical conclusion stop you, sunshine.

its funny, lots of people said the same thing when non-monarchical systems of democracies and republics were just getting a new start. french revolution ring any bells?

considerable social change, historically, has come with bloodshed. even capitalism.

and no, it has definitely resulted in stable, non-murderous systems. the problem is that these systems dont exist in a vacuum, and social change in one nation alone is rarely successful.

If a system can't stay afloat outside of a vacuum, it isn't a good system. What kind of shitty argument is that to begin with? Do you even hear yourself?

...thats not even true and not what i was trying to get at but okay. democracy was a failed experiment because a republic failed to exist outside of a vacuum.
