That's a great word, lol!!! Although algorithmic thinking is of course, not limited to marxists, it is the tragedy of all dogma-based schools of perceiving reality!
And the entire generation of my grandparents, who were raised on marxism and sincerely believe it, were the opposite of narcissists, they were selfless, hard-working people who had very hard lives, many left the village "for a better life," lived in poverty for years, fought against Hitler (and defeated him). They were heroes, really, and they were also lied to by the state (that was funded, originally, by Wall Street from across the ocean, as it seems), and all of it is just one giant act of abuse against the people that needs to be stopped.
By the way, your comment here reminded me of what Jim Marrs (and I'm sure a few others) have written and said about Hitler and Co: The Germans lost the war but Naziism won. Read about "Paperclip" -or just look around. And from my readings of cancer and vitamin B17, I learned that during WW II, the I.G. Farben building complex miraculously survived the bombing of Frankfurt.
I love a good play on words. But in defense of Marx -- Karl, not Groucho -- his much-maligned fundamental idea was that those who do the work should determine what to do with the profits. That's hard for me to disagree with. And I've yet to hear a persuasive argument against that one.
:) His economic theory is just another theory that explains a part of the world in terms of material logic, and it does that, well, logically. The caveat though is that he produced his work while being supported by a wealthy friend! So, life tends to insert irony into our theories sometimes. :)
You mean you shouldn't have to give 30pct to the government if you created your own business? I'm sure that's what he meant right. You can consent to give up that right if you choose to go work for someone else. Division of labor is also an efficient way to run things. Let the engine propel and the steering rack steer.
Marxissists.

Tessa, the word Marxissists was coined by John Carter. As for your grandparents, I think the term refers more to the current generation.
