Marx, for all of his bluster and gusto was a shitty communist, and a backwards thinker. He had decided that communism was a solution and then set about finding a problem for it to solve. And the idea of being forced to share something that you yourself have earned, is tantamount to legalized theft. Marx never had a job which forced him to break a sweat, or anything close to the jobs held by the proletariat, in Marx we see not a brilliant socio economic philosopher, just an inspired upper middle class prussian who feels guilty.

Socialism is superior to communism, because of it's moderation and adaptability.

David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Spinoza, and Hegel are all main philosophical men.
