Karl Marx

     
   

Scandinavia

 

Dear Karl Marx,

Is it possible that our world would one day turn to the socialism that we see in Scandinavia? It is obvious that pure communism did not work out very well. Eventually, power corrupted Moscow and the empire collapsed. Capitalism is not much better, it will rot from the inside because of greed and lust for power. Would you like to see socialism with a side dish of capitalism served together? It seems to work nicely in Scandinavia and some other European countries.

Happy 2007,

Stan.


Happy 2007 to you. For one, I am in 1978 and Scandinavian countries are kingdoms. If they turned to socialist countries in your time that is a joyful surprise proving that, as my good friend Engels used to say: «a few dialectics here and there and you always get your way out of any situation».
 
Moscow corrupted, that is nothing new however.

All yours,

Marx
