Marxist economics works just great. The problem is people, who get in the way or want a bigger piece of everything.

"Many of the tangible examples of socialism (and Marxism) that one might experience today pass by in such a way that we do not readily identify them as being socialist. If your country has any of the following, you've experienced socialism to some degree:

Government-provided support for the young, elderly, and disabled, such as Social Security in the United States
Universal healthcare
Free education
Subsidies on housing or utilities
Public libraries
Public roads and highways
Emergency services like police and the fire department
Government-provided support for the impoverished, like the food stamps program in the United States"
