Whoah
I wasn't talking about Marxism, I was talking about redistributive Socialism, which an entirely different outlook, which acknowledges private property but seeks to shuffle it around according to some big economic plan (pure Marxism does away with monetary exchange value altogether).

And in a way we agree - if governments didn't fiddle with and distort the market in an effort to push spending above sustainable levels, then we wouldn't be in this mess (or at least in such a big one).

Ah, this is just like being a student again...
