He wasn’t asking if Marxism is the greatest ideology. He was asking how Marx philosophy would apply to today’s world. IMHO, that’s an interesting question. And I’m by no means a marxist.

Well arguably, like it or not, capitalism has been the single largest economic force behind millions being lifted out of poverty and into the middle class world-wide. Globalism has only helped this. So one could say that capitalism is the current "greatest" ideology. Therefore I would amend my argument as claiming that Marxism will never be the greatest ideology in comparison to capitalism.

If you want "free" everything and a gulag for dissenters please leave our fine country.

You are reading in things that I didn’t say.

BTW, leave what country…? Is HN only open for people from one specific country? Are you sure you and I live in the same country?
