Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels. In different words, he defined the socialist ideals that would desire to later be observed interior the Soviet Union, Cuba, China and extra. although all those societies have democratized, i could say the undeniable fact that Karl Marx made some substantial contributions to society.

Communism is much more honorable than our system and a
great idea on paper, but doesnt work because of human greed.
The Chinesse have had some sucess with it and are now
modifying it with Capitalism and may likely take over us all,
due to our own greed. They have unlimited cheap labor that we
cant or wont compete against and are buying us up by leaps
and bounds. The world scene is changing rapidly and look for
much more to come in the near future.

Marxist economic theory failed for the reasons he stated it would, these are the same reasons Capitalist economic theory does not work without imperialist strategy! It is a part of human nature called GREED!
BTW
Marxist economic theory, even though written over 100 years ago has never been proven incorrect, but it has been proven correct many times over- that is why it is still around!

Only in a perfect world where people under communism didn't want to have more and better possessions than their neighbors, in other words, no, not because specific individuals but because of human nature of competitiveness.

Well, I wouldnt be one to say if it could work or not. I have the utmost of faith in the people, so the only way that it could work is if the majority of the people want it to. Understand, this would be a long and very slow process involving business, economics, politics, and social growth.

Consider This fact.. there is not one theory of old Mr.Marx that you or anyone else can prove..but there are many you can disprove..I always thought it strange to try and apply (economically) a 20th century mans thinking in a 21 century World!

Karl was a socialist, and no, although I love his ideas on equality, we empower people too much at the political level. Absolute power means absolute corruption.

No, because it defies human nature and doesn't take into account those who will not work.
