Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler both embraced collectivism, that is government control of the means of production. Both completely nationalized all industrial production.

Where did Karl Marx advocate the no government? His manifesto is the blueprint for all collectivism, including Nazi, Fascism, and democratic socialism.

The government of Russia and the USSR wasn't strong? Hmmm yourself.

Only one person so far has taken the question and answered it. Is it so uncomfortable to admit Obama's philosophical roots/

Avoiding the facts just shows desperation.

karl marx preached utopic communism. where the means of production and the produce actually goes to the masses, not to another kind of aristocracy.

Karl marx preached the first stage of Orwell's animal farm while any communist government embraced the last stage "some animals are more equal than others" stage.

The of "Marxisit" Russia/USSR government would have made Marx's cry himself to sleep every night.

Have you ever read any of Marx's work? Or are you simply spouting ignorant BS?

Personally I disagree with much of Marx's political philosophy but I have read it.

I am however a Marxist.... See Link

I must have missed the part in the film where Karl Marx acquired despotic power.

Do you agree with Ayn Rand's views on women? It's all of a piece, you know ...
