Karl Marx's philospophy stated all people are equal and should have the same stuff, same pay, etc (communism) He also believed that people should have social services provided by the Government (socialism)
Thomas Jefferson's philospophy is the base of the Republician party. He believed that the people come first, then the government. Also he believed that Intelligence is the key to a better society, so education felt like a necessity to him. He believes that all businesses have a chance if not bombarded by regulations and limits (Capitalism)
So, which person do you agree with? Karl Marx or Thomas Jefferson? |

You did a really bad job at comparing them with equal understanding. Look at the difference this comparison makes:
-Apples are grown abundantly on trees. They have naturally sweet flavors and help boost the immune system.
-Chocolate is full of sugar and can damage your metabolism. It is also has been proven to cause insulin spikes.
Both of those statements are completely true. Apples appear to be in the lead. Now, consider these next statements.
-Apple seeds contain small amounts of cyanide, which is poisonous to humans. Too many apples can also cause blood sugar issues.
-Chocolate contains many antioxidants that help protect the body from aging. It can also decrease the risk of heart disease and increase your lifespan.
Strangely enough, both of those statements are true, as well. However, the biased spin is making chocolate look better.

I go with Marx. Capitalism is failing, as anyone with half a brain can see (Wall St. crashing, fiscal cliff, 2008 stock crash, Great Depression, etc etc) - No, all those situations, if you look at them, were caused by cronyism and protectionism. The free market, when tampered with, will bite back.
And I bet all you Karl Marx fanbois don't even know much about him or read his works, with the exception of Magno. |

| Despite the fact that Jefferson was close to being an anarchist, during his presidency he expanded government power. |

Despite the fact that Jefferson was close to being an anarchist, during his presidency he expanded government power. - he was not an anarchist, look past the name and into the theory like i did, and by that i mean read "What is Anarchism?" or "Fields, Factories, and Workshops", or "Le Conquit du Pain". |

Democratic capitalism is designed to be re banged every 200 years.
All democratic governments degrade and must be cleaned from time to time.
