Rapture of the Deep

Marx and Socialism have made tremendous errors on both sides of the economic equation. In underestimating Capitalism they never imagined the depth and breadth of its economic growth, they  erroneously assumed inherent declining production and rising unemployment, they never thought the successful would share governance with the workers, nor did they anticipate the impact of technology or social safety nets. On the Socialism side, different cultures exposed different deficits: Stagnation in Great Britain, corruption in South America and Africa, and economic failure and starvation in Russia and China.

Yet , despite all the errors in concept and the disasters in application, the socialist soldiers on. It is simply hard to believe there is not something more going on.
