You call it socialistic? I'm forgetting the most current statistics but in the US 1.5% of the population controls 95% of the wealth. Even Marx said that 5% should govern 80%.

As for the people arguing the US's poor are living better than the other people's poor. Are you for serious? The poor in the US are in the worst condition of any of the western countries. They can't even get treated if they get sick.

I think your numbers are a little exaggerated...

 

 

 

I'm actually trying to fidn the exact numbers right now and will update them as they come int, but I remember seeing them and they were way way worse than what Marx was talking about.

 

Edit: Here we go, current US stats looking for Marx's ideas right now:
