Brilliant riposte....poor Frank thinks the existence of a Marxism conference means "cultural Marxism" does exist, even among "poofters" no less.

And Bobby....who never accepted the ethics of fair allocation/reward for effort, taking ability into account - a major concern of Marx.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".  

Just one more thing -

that Marxism conference you went to -

it wasn't cultural Marxism was it?

PARTY PROGRAM OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMUNIST PARTY
As adopted 2023 congress

The Australian Communist Party (ACP) is a Marxist-Leninist organisation that seeks to lead the revolutionary transformation of Australia from being a capitalist society to a socialist one. The Party is the inheritor of the best traditions of the Australian working class and applies the teachings of Marx, Engels and Lenin to best advance the interests of the working class and other exploited people through struggle. It is an internationalist party that recognises that the war against the dictatorship of capital will finally be won only through the victory of socialist revolutions around the world and progress in the construction of a stateless, classless Communist society.

· Members of the ACP are obliged to be active in their workplaces and communities.

· They must work with Party organisations to best serve the people and win workers and other exploited people to socialism.

· Membership of the Party is a lifelong commitment to the cause of the workers and other exploited people of the world.

·  We understand socialism to be the state power of the working class (the dictatorship of the proletariat), the abolition of private ownership in the means of production, a planned and centralised economy, the more direct involvement of workers in control of their workplaces and communities through new structures and progress leading to the creation of a Communist society.

They sound very much like The Greens.

What happened after the USSR broke up was a collapse in social security arrangements,  resulting in a massive descrease  in life expectancy as the state's  resources were plundered by private sector oligarchs who became billionaires over night. It took  a decade for the situation to improve for the ordinary workers.

(google) 

Following the collapse of the USSR, there was a significant decline in life expectancy, particularly in the Russian Federation. Male life expectancy fell by approximately 6 years between 1990 and 1994. This drop was largely attributed to factors like economic hardship, social instability, and a rise in preventable deaths from alcohol and other causes.

Economic Turmoil:

The transition to a market economy was accompanied by lower living standards, increased unemployment, and a decline in social services, including healthcare.

Stop ranting about what happened in the USSR, in a vain attempt  to support your nonsense re "cultural Marxism".

Marx was concerned with ethical allocation of resources, whereas you, like Frank, want to blame the failure of free-market capitalism to engender common  prosperity,  on Marx by ranting about  "cultural Marxism" - which has nothing to do with Marx in any case.

What happened in every country of the USSR is important to know about
what communism was actually like.
Everyone hated it except the top party officials -
They couldn't wait to join the West.

More proof here:




With the US-China trade tensions at an all-time high, a range of sharp memes mocking Americans is flooding social media. Besides the public, Chinese government officials have also jumped onto the bandwagon, sharing memes to troll the US government. From taking digs at President Donald Trump to creating AI-generated images of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vice President JD Vance, the memes have been circulating widely across Chinese and US social media.
