        “Liberalism is a word that means different things to different people, especially from country to country.”

        Liberal values are the basis of Marx’s work. He, rightly in my opinion, thinks the liberal state cannot bring about those values for all people.

          Liberalism is all about individual “rights” and “freedoms”. Such as the right of the factory owner to exploit his workers or the freedom of the newspaper owner control the narrative. This is completely at odds with communism.

          Marx rejected liberal values of individualism and the free reign of private property, I’m not sure exactly what you’re including in “liberal values.”

      What have you actually done to support anything besides ideas? Are you actually making choices in life or are you playing life like a video game, where others design it for you and all you do is pick between what they let you?
