that in order to keep the country alive every citizen necessarily had to
contribute to society. Being that society would make it fine with or without
their help so that means that those people would be free. Us humans just
give a bad rep to unemployment. It is wither lazy to not have a job, but it is

hard for something that can be given so that every family in the

get anyone a nibble. I do believe that if Marx could find maybe just a few
more people to take his side, there would have been a lot more falling into
his teachings shortly after. I think that if Marx would have won though the
humans would naturally screw it up based off of greed, money, and glory. All
this talk that Marx has is based upon basically the maturity of the society to
