I Think Karl Marx Had Some Good Points

Marx made a lot of insightful observations of human society, and especially of how the ability to find work had changed with the industrial revolution, and it's consolidation of economic strength. He had good ideas about social destruction at the hands of the owners of industry, but his failure to fully address the base level of greed in the hearts of men meant his ideas would ultimately fail the test and prove too utopian.

Karl had an elegant system planned out. Only one flaw in it.. It didnt account for people. That is where the inequity in the system comes from. On paper Communism works just fine.

@whowasthatmaskedman It works on paper if you remove any ruler or ruling class. In any society or system either everyone is equal or no one is. You are right, it is the nature of people that screws the pooch.
