Marxism is founded on hate and jealousy just as it is founded upon Satan and Hell itself. It fails because it is a defeated philosophy, which was defeated by Christ on the cross some 2k years ago. It will NEVER bring about any human happiness, only human misery because it is founded in evil.

Marxism was one half of a system in which everything would be controlled.

Ain’t nobody got time for all that entertaining opinions with some measure of doubt.

Marxism fails because it kills (or maybe more accurately, suppresses/snuffs) the human spirit.
At the core, that's all it is.

His point that Marx didn't want to help the poor but wanted to hurt the rich is absolutely true. I was shocked when I found out 30 years ago when speaking to a communist co-worker who immgrated from Belgium. After 10 minutes of hostile debate I asked her a simple question:
Me: 'If we confiscated 50% of the wealth of every millionaire in America and put the money in a pile and burned it. Not a penny going to the poor. Would you vote for that tax?
Her: 'Yes. Because no one needs that much money.'

Exactly. Another way of saying that is that Marxism seeks equality by bringing those on the top down to the bottom. Capitalism seeks to raise those on the bottom to the top.
