    I know about marxism it’s not for me. I like democracy and capitalism and I don’t even benefit from it much, but I just prefer it to be this way.

      That’s kinda the problem though. Preferring it to be this way isn’t a realistic thing. Capitalism will end in favour of something else eventually; whether it be in our lifetimes or 500 years from now. That’s what Marxism explains.

      Similarly, Marxism aims to achieve MORE democracy than we currently have. You’re only aware of the Leninist variants. You don’t actually know as much as you think.

        Naw again I understand it I just prefer the way the government is now. I don’t think marxism is the solution or it will happen in our lifetimes but I agree it might in the future
