    What was Marx' diagnosis, and what was his prescription?
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Power struggle leading to worker exploitation to benefit of the few

    Communism where human dignity maintained through respect for the needs of workers through active suppression of those who would wield power over them

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    You never criticized my failure to understand the basics of Marxism. What's the deal? Are you feeling well?

    The US Constitution can be for very limited government or it can be for very large government, just depends on your interpretation. What it specifies clearly is that whatever size we interpret it to be, the power is not collected among one position or organization but that there is a separation of powers to balance out various factions. When we defend the Constitution and invoke our allegiance to it, we are not declaring ourselves beholden to the personal views of a select few US citizens in the 1780s but to the rule of law which seeks to satisfy the citizens needs whether they be big or small in a way that protects as many as possible from abuse.
