Marxism is to Economics what the Perpetual Motion Machine is to Physics. Consider the Perpetual Motion Machine as described in many places under the rubric "Free Energy". It offers GREAT opportunities for technology: Cars, Planes, Homes, Factories all running without fuel. What a miracle! No more energy problems! It is a great idea except for ONE FACT. Not one single SUCCESSFUL Perpetual Motion Machine has ever been demonstrated.

Marxism might be attractive except for ONE FACT. Not one single SUCCESSFUL Marxist nation exists or has ever existed. Why in Hell would we want to try a system that has failed 100% of the times it has been tried? Would you go to a doctor who killed 100% of patients?

Marxism has been tried in nations comprising billions of persons and has failed utterly. Why should we try a FAILED economic system?

Here is a list of countries that WERE Marxist but are no longer Marxist:

Afghanistan
Albania
Angola
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Belorussia
Benin
Bulgaria
Cambodia
China (while nominally Communist, is highly Capitalistic)
Czechoslovakia
Democratic Republic of Congo
East Germany
Eritrea
Estonia
Ethiopia
Georgia
Hungary
Latvia
Lithuania
Mongolia
Mozambique
Poland
Romania
Russia
Somalia
Turkmenistan
Ukraine
Yemen
Yugoslavia

Marxism survives in only 5 countries and they are failing economically FAST:

Country Order GDP Per capita
Venezuela 133
Cuba 78
Vietnam 134
Laos 136
North Korea 178

After that abject failure on a global scale, how can ANYBODY be stupid enough to believe in Marxism?
