```Sapienza and Zingales, as paraphrased in the report, argue that “the more American economists agree among themselves, the more distant they grow from average Americans.” (It is one amusing irony that economists link arms and lock step in a framework that emphasizes personal choice and individuality.)

Here is a list of actual Marxist states: 1- 2- 3- 4- 5-

(Marjority of 'Marxist' states were actually interpretations of Marxism)

Examples: Marxism, Lenninism. Titoism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Maoism,

Also his "ideas" have effected policies in countries all across the world - successful ones too.

Not every ideology followed by a country has to be exactly how the first philosopher of said ideology envisioned it for it to be considered a part of the same beliefs

Not every communist country has to be the same

truth is that communism has been tried many times

just like how there are spinoffs of any belief system, that doesn't mean that for example the UK and the United States aren't both Representative Republics of course they are

they are just different in a few ways

Marx helped bring complex system thinking into economics, that alone is a huge contribution

The only good thing to come from Marx were a few socialist policies adopted throughout Europe

WE haven't seen anything yet policy wise, most of what he talked about was resisted, even by the "marxists"

the post-Keyesnians are first real attempt and they are fought hard by the Neoliberals

The Communism Meme is like 2% of what Marx talked about

XD

They were all reading the same Communist Manifesto

the same Kapitalism

they all read the same texts

shame they got only 2%

what afucking joke

You can read stuff without practicing it or paying heed to it

I cant believe only 2% of his beliefs were practiced give me the other 98% pls

what was practiced was mostly just using marx as a marketing slogan to grab power

Leninism for example directly went against what marx said about passing through stages

so give me the other 98% of policies not adopted

Entire Bolshevik faction was refutation of some of his main ideas, at least as for as positive action was concerned

Much of what he talked about wasn't policy , it was analysis, building up a framework of system dynamics
