Marxism/socialism is worse than slavery. Slavery was universal until serious abolition began a couple of centuries ago. But even slaves were individuals. Epictetus is a major example. Marxism/socialism treats human beings as interchangeable ciphers. The purging of whole classes and the quotas of Stalin are good examples. National Socialism likewise, with its Holocaust, reprisal massacres and imposed famines. As G K Chesterton said of G B Shaw’s socialism, such ideologues respond to the failures of socialism not by replacing the theory, but by replacing the populace. There are rigid religious monocultures too. The grey blob has many faces.
