Then industrial revolution advanced scientific theories dramatically in the next couple of centuries after Utopia. Fast forward to the 19th century, there came a guy called Karl Marx. He told everybody that even though reality revealed that people always worked as little as possible and asked for as much pay as possible, but with the multiplication of productivities, it would be possible one day that too many things were produced in the world that people could just grab what they wanted as long as they were all willing to work without demanding pays. His thought was similar to what professional sports coaches like to say today when motivating players: "leave 110% of the effort on the field, then everything and everybody would be well taken care of".

In order to make his theory "scientific" as oppose to "non-scientific" communism, Marx divided his theories into three parts.

The first part was his theories of social economics, with its most important point being: "productivity makes a society the way it is". Marx's social economics theory included a lot of formulas which calculated how unfair capitalists where exploiting the poor workers. But those equations appeared to be mostly pseudo-science, because he totally discounted the roles that capitals and managements played in the processes of creating productivity.

The second part of the Marx's theories was the philosophy in which he used to derive his conclusions. It basically said everything is "black" and "white" at the same time. He used many pairs or English words or German words, whenever he felt handy, such as things are: "evolving but recognizable (like a static object)"; things are recognizable as a single entity and can be isolated, but entities are always magically related to some other entities in the universe and can not be isolated. He also discussed that the world consists of materials and spirits and they are both affecting one another. In general, materials determine spirits. This part of the theory reflected a breakaway from religions. Such things were quite fashionable to do at that time, as people were getting amazed by science and were getting increasingly tired of the Medieval Dark Ages and tried to stay away from churches.

The third part of the Marx's theory was the most controversial part, which incited violence. He stated that since workers were the ones actually did produce all the goods in this world, they would likely to be willing to work without demanding rewards when productivity are in surplus in a society. Capitalists on the other hand, since they did not have the habit of actually doing the real work, would not turn into the kind of nice persons who are willing to work without demanding rewards no matter how big a productivity is in a society. Therefore workers must use forces to bend those capitalists into nice persons when productivities are big enough for the ripe condition of Communism.

Later, workers in Europe starting from France. . ."

"Those French again" Bud murmured "I hate the French" as was trendy to say in US these days.

David continued "tried to bring communism to their cities or communes without thinking about whether their productivity was in absolute surplus to supply the entire world. Since this practice deviated from Marx's originally theory of Communism, they called this type of countries or small communities as under 'Socialism'. Vladimir Lenin was credited among communists as 'advancing' the Marxism theory to allow small areas, rather than the entire world or at least the entire Europe, entering into socialism and calling themselves as entering the beginning stage of Communism. Of course, the West simply said Lenin was a spy sponsored by Germany to overthrow the Russian government as part of the World War I effort. When the socialist revolution happened in Russia, the country was in a state of near starvation, rather than having too much stuff to consume and too much time to waste.

So Lenin's contribution to communism was to encourage all the poor countries to think they were ready for communism. I actually think countries that are rich enough to have Jerry Springer show fits the profile much closer to what Marx described as being ready for Communism, but Marx failed to predict that in such countries, workers would be busy griping for pays being too little while unemployed would be busy watching Jerry and therefore had no interests to force capitalists into blue color workers. This was a secret that George Marshall discovered after World War II and proved with his implementation of the Marshall Plan, which effectively stopped the spread of Communism.

Eventually, the sad states of affairs for communists was that only poor countries were willing to receive Communism, which by definition of Communism did not have enough productivities to realize the ideal. But some poor countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam and North Korea simply built socialism and called themselves communism, pretty much like those IT employees who clicked on a Linux, Oracle, SQL server application once or twice and put these terms on their resumes to impress recruiters and potential employers to get interviews.

Out of the three main theories of Marxism, I think social economics was partly reasonable. The part about capitalists unfairly profiting from workers were miscalculated or exaggerated, but the Marxist theory about productivity determines social structure and interpersonal relationship were very accurate, I felt like I almost lived through the events unfolding right in front of my eyes.

"

Bud like many Americans was alien to the idea of productivity determined the social structure of a society. Many of them think their great founding fathers came up with the great idea of democracy and built this wonderful place they are living in ever since. While David was talking, somebody made Bud hit the break hard in order to avoid a collision, he did not hear clearly what David said and asked: "Did you say Karl Marx was right on something?". "Yes, what he said about productivity determined the social structure of a society was very true".

Bud couldn't stand David saying Marx ever said anything right in his life like many Americans who grew up picturing the guy as a 9 headed monster, said: "Come on, what could have Karl Marx ever get it right? The guy was a fool and a drunk and a murderer, probably like Hitler. You were just brain washed when you lived under communism".
