because capitalism is the socio-economical system that will adopt any ideology if it makes more profit. Capitalism appealed to traditional vales in 50's because it was the norm.

Marxism rests on dialectical materialism, which says that history moves by certain stages. Feudal times lead to capitalism and then captalism will lead to communism.
>Chavez self proclaimed to be a marxist, as well as pol pot, the soviets, mao, stalin, Castro.

Because someone who identified with a political theory and did terrible shit, that theory is down the drain? Is it maybe perhaps possible that they were just using a powerful motivation to get the authority that they wanted over people?

Im not saying marxism is the solution. Its an ideology like many others, striving for impossible ends of paradise that no means as they exist will ever produce. But the fact that solutions have been attempted might indicate a problem, whether it exists in the society we live in or within ourselves. If you think the ever expanding hyper-capitalism we have today will improve our lives into infinity, than you haven't taken a serious look down the road we're on.

this dont make no got dam sense but im just gonna end by saying that you're generally wasting your time with political theory unless you can somehow reflect some of its essential goodness into your personal life. Just as you've recognized that many communist leaders had something much different than the prosperity of masses in mind, you should additionally recognize that hardly anyone who strives so greatly to convince you of any idealistic group of their own truly and honestly wants the best for you.

“But, wherever a man goes, men will pursue and paw him with their dirty institutions, and, if they can, constrain him to belong to their desperate odd-fellow society. It is true, I might have resisted forcibly with more or less effect, might have run "amok" against society; but I preferred that society should run "amok" against me, it being the desperate party.” -Thoreau

The love of power like in politics destroys a person's trust. They need that trust to keep connection with their fellow man and in order to keep it the transcendence of passion should be handled with caution. We may lose that trust, because the feeling is not mutual and then we may never love again. When the obsession over control is taken beyond its limits, the disposition to feel, do or say is lost completely because authority does not love us in return.
