Default Re: Modern arguments for communism?

Of course there are legitimate arguments for communism, true egalitarianism is a pretty perssuasive one to me. Basically the arguments for communism are the same today as they were when marx wrote em down. The working class is in no better situation (even though the upper classes trick them into thinking they are).

That's not even close to true.

OK. Umm. The working class is much better off than they were in the 1840s, in terms of life expectancy, real wages, access to education, personal savings, workplace safety, political influence, right to unionize, social safety net, etc.

Better? Could you not guess that that's what I meant when I said your previous statement was not true?
