Posted by: Jason at October 2, 2003 12:09 AM You know, when I am put in the position of having to, well, not "defend" Marxism, but to at least point out why it 2 pac change can't be shown empirically to have 2 pac change failed, Conservatives often say that Socialism/Communism won't work because people want more things. In other words, sharing capital fails because of human greed. I agree with them wholeheartedly that this failure to take human 2 pac change nature into account is the main reason that Marxist ideas would never work. However, human greed could also be seen to be weakness of a completely free market. I don't know why they can't see that. As Isaiah Berlin wrote in The Crooked Timber of Humanity (to the best of my recollection), "total liberty for the wolves is death to the lambs."
