Is that why he was recently voted greatest thinker of the millenium on bbc in britain of all places[where communism was a hated word]?His govt ideas failed because of the selfishness of the executors.But everything he said about capitalism was right.About smaller corporations merging into bigger globalized corporations,about globalization etc.I am not a communist never have been,but can't deny that marx was the first great social thinker of modern times.This fact is recognized by many common folks,that his political system may have failed but his ideas about capital ,god society were very much relevant.Hence the shock verdict.
Communism prevents innovation, any welfare state does. It isn't states job to provide job to people but it's states job to maintain law and order and create and environment which is investment friendly and let entrepreneurs do their job.
Capitalism is time tested method while communism failed in most if not all occasions. Having said that, I do think there should be some kinda mechanism to prevent corporate monopoly and ensure workers right.
