Sounded good on paper but those workers kept their guns and still gave the government and capitalists everything they wanted without a single shot fired.

All you're doing is posting a picture of Marx with an example of him being wrong.

Oligarchs discovered that you can achieve more with propaganda. And cheaper.

The rebellious youth got utterly subverted, for example.
