We should be listening to Marx in these times.

Anybody who tried has starved to death or needed a bloody revolution to get rid of their dictator and his nomenklatura.

Like Allende, who was democratically elected and then couped by the CIA?

Plenty of communist experiments ran unimpeded (a few are even running right now) and they pretty much all had the same predictable miserable ends.

Oh, and to address your earlier point:

> you fine fellow serfs have made this a fertile land for discussion

Yes, the community is where the value is. But we all congregated here and not on some free and open-source place somewhere else on the Internet. So there must also be some value added by the creators and maintainers of this place, value we recognized and built upon.

Whether you like it or not, Marx is one of the most important philosophers from XIX century with important contributions to politics, sociology and economy.

I never said he wasn't important. So was Hitler, btw. Marx's sick ideology just killed more. But I am glad you consider that an important contribution.

No, Hitler was no relevant philosopher and had no widely recognizable contribution to the mentioned areas. It's a pity that ideology prevents people to discuss or even to understand other people's ideas and contributions.
