As silly as it sounds? Marx wrote very little about government. The most promising moves towards collective autonomy in the 21st Century are about abolishing politics as we know it, and engaging directly. From Chiapas Mexico, the EZLN is expanding. Rojava is convalescing into a functioning federation of semi-autonomous collectives coordinating defense against ISIL. And any economist who bothers to actually examine the subject sees that worker co-ops make unimaginable things possible. Worker Ownership of the means of production - thats the game. Having Government as a MiddleMan didnt work out well - there's plenty of other options on the deep Left. It did produce shorter work weeks than we have in the US today, but freedom overall suffered. But compared to what we have now? Freedom is a lie when you cant afford it under Capitalism. Even the freedom to achieve gainful employment is just another pipe dream to too many. You're gonna wanna let us in before we burn it down just to survive. It isnt up to me - Im not the one with power here. And that's another off topic discussion - the conflation of power with Freedom... You think your Market System works so well? If you think Marxism is some kind of disease, rehabilitate us Lefties with paychecks capable of raising Families and paying down debt. Train me, and I'll earn it. Remember that poverty sets trainees back weeks at a time - the deeper the poverty, the worse it gets. But if you want the most loyal employees ever, you'll invest that time anyway. That's the only way you can stop the wave thats coming. The American Dream was a Deal - and Ive put blood, sweat, tears, even smiles while missing funerals into holding up my end of the bargain. Meanwhile, I've never worked anywhere in the US that wasnt the proverbial Russian Nail Factory, and still been repeatedly homeless with a full time job. You know nothing of how we live. Quit pretending you do to our faces, and then pretending we're all useless, lazy junkies when you're among your "friends".
