If you knew anything about Marxism and the Soviet system, you would understand that politics meant economics.
Why do you think the bloody place collapsed??
"Technical education" . . . who's talking about that?
Enough with the strawmen!
This is the weakness of Marx's writings. He only wrote in terms about economics. He did not take into account other factors in society like culture which other thinkers such as Durkeim did.

Let the man tell us about Marxism and the Soviet system. He seems to be an expert.
Incidentally, Marx is a required reading in Economics in US colleges.
