Ten Planks of Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto
Democracy, Globalism or Communism; pick only one. We progress from Democracy to Globalization to Technocracy to totalitarian Socialism or Communism. We seem to already be halfway there without even noticing. Dystopia, be careful what you wish for. Note the ten planks of Manifesto. Marx called it dialectic materialism, a formula for endless subversion. Dystopia entails loss of freedom, equality under slavery or death and full obedience to the state. Our independence, freedom and Democracy are still worth fighting for, but how?
The burning debate is not Left or Right, but rather globalization or the Constitution, internationalism or nationalism.
