Equality of rates still means people that have more pay more, so shouldn't you be arguing for equality in amount paid, not equality in rates?

Marx wasn't a socialist. ;)

Are you kidding me???

"Karl Heinrich Marx (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German philosopher, sociologist, economic historian, journalist, and revolutionary socialist who developed the socio-political theory of Marxism. " -Wikipedia article

If you tell me that Wikipedia is not a legitimate source for the above information, shall I point you to 10 other sources that will corroborate the above??

You must have been born on another planet.

The point I was making is that what Marx believed is called Marxism and not socialism. They differ in a number of ways.

1.One is the Marxism is derived from the Hegelian German tradition of a dialectical view of social change.

2.Marxism argues that socialism is a possible, but not necessary step between capitalism and marxism. The more revolutionary the more likely this step should be avoided.

3. Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism and notice how they use socialism and in what context. They use it in opposition of Marxism and Communism.

Marxism is a step further than socialism. It's not nearly the same, there is wild disagreement on which rights/liberties should be respected. There is plenty of material about that in Wikipedia, too, try not to restrict yourself to one quote.

So its... unlikely? PROBABILISTIC FALLACY, TRY AGAIN.

Do you actually have a point to make, or are you just assisting people in pointing out Rhetoric? (without calling attention to your own?)

I've responded above with a somewhat sensible view point. How about you contribute there?

What people should do and what they actually do, is two separate entities. Try again.
