the goal of marxism is to dispose the government in the end and give the power to the people.

there was never any real socialism in the world as the famous "socialists" were dictators all along and only claimed exercising socialism.

socialism is the perfect form of society but humanity is not ready yet as egoism and hatred are still the engine of mankind.

Capitalism will fail in the end when the proletariat will stand up to dispose iniquity.

A strong centralized government, democratic or not, will not and cannot serve the people. All it provides is an easier avenue for tyrants and despots to seize the reigns of control. That is why "there is no real method of people changing how things are done". Once you construct a system of control on that level, there's nothing to stop it. It's a run-away train. What will it take to prove it?
So was George Bush, your point? Then if you don't like socialism open a new thread and we can also discuss what type of political system you think would work in the United States.

I would say capitalism has already failed. That is, if you measure in terms of producing an egalitarian society.

Stop calling him a socialist.

It's just a name, just compare his policies with the party of german socialists and communist party of germany

He killed or put them into jail after banning them.

My grandparents where put into jail by the PNF and NSDAP for being socialists and communists.

No need to insult, MRiGnS, I was saying that he was a member of the Socialist party, not that he followed the socialist political ideologies.
The same way that George Bush is a Republican, but does not follow conservative ideologies.

I agree, which makes your previous post irrelevant.

Adolf Hitler was a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Adolf Hitler was not a socialist.

Can we quit arguing semantics now, and get back to the real debate?
