Marxists start in the middle... after the successes of free(r) enterprise and seek to address how to divide the pie. There is no clear mechanism in the system of marxism that incentivizes the first person to act on an invention when they will be rewarded just as well for not doing so. Even his opening story about the destruction of Youngstown starts with 'after decades of opulence provided by free enterprise, there were consequences when it stopped'.
Let's look for lists of accomplishments by socialist/marxist/communist (smc) countries:
* longevity - has any country sustained this beyond 70 years?
* greatest inventions
* quantity of people who travel to smc countries to get health care vs those who travel to free(r) to get health care
* since smc are obviously nobler, they must lead the world in disaster responses by helping other countries. Evidence?
