Tea Parties are gay...
Coffee parties kick ass.
How many people could you get to show up for a keg party???
So we cant ask "what is wrong with Marxism?" and look back at Stalin and Hitler to find the answer? we have to try it again?
Well to get anything from an examination you have to have the right questions. Putting a question that assumes the answer isn't helpful so you might want to rephrase it. "What is Marxism?" would be a good start. If you get to the conclusion that it's a form of social analysis predicated on German idealism which has a deterministic streak in it then you'd be on the way to working it out.
If you looked at Hitler you wouldn't get much out of it. If you looked at Stalin then you would understand it a bit more and you'd probably see how Marxist theory was distorted by too much emphasis on the determinism that Marx argued is a part of human history. By the way Stalin was an expert on dialectical (or historical) materialism, one of the reasons Lysenko was so successful in sucking up to him.
Could you perhaps put that in a clearer fashion?
"What is wrong with Marxism?" assumes the conclusion of the question.
"What is wrong with Marxism?" assumes the conclusion of the question.
I would have thought the millions dead because of it would have made that conclusion obvious.

Millions dead because of a form of social analysis? You have to be a bit more particular than that.
Takes you apart in 30 seconds or less.Coffee party? What historical event is that based on, a Starbucks grand opening?
I would think none. Progressives don't normally look back, they look forward. Unlike so-called conservatives, who constantly look back for answers, even though there are no answers in our past.

So you are of the opinion Marxism can not be put into practice as a political philosophy?
