Sounded good on paper but those workers kept their guns and still gave the government and capitalists everything they wanted without a single shot fired.
All you're doing is posting a picture of Marx with an example of him being wrong.
Oligarchs discovered that you can achieve more with propaganda. And cheaper.
The rebellious youth got utterly subverted, for example.
(Yes yes, rage on about your gender and haircolor. We'll just keep running the world and squeezing the underclass)
We could also achieve more without guns but unfortunately some people are content using guns as magic talismans instead.
Thanks, Santa. Very cool.
