I was wondering why Marxism was still a thing and this placed seemed to be filled with Marxists. So, why? Didn’t the fall of USSR teach us anything? Do today’s Marxists think that USSR did something wrong? In other words, will they do anything different than the dictators of the soviet union? Also, some here seem to admire Stalin. I would really have to try hard to find a community that would admire Hitler but apparently admiring Stalin, another mass murder seems to be perfectly fine!

    In short: bad ideas don’t completely die just because they’re bad. Bad ideas will always have their passionate fans, despite the popularity of the idea, or lack thereof.

    I mean, Nazism is still a thing too, as is the fascism that often accompanies both Nazism and Marxism. The fact that these ideas persist means little, as nearly all ideas persist to some extent.
