Not only is it bad, it's incompatible with human nature.

It's a nice idea. I don't think it can work in practice.

Trotsky wrote a book about how it falls apart, even while trying to defend the ideals.

it certainly can, but there's a practical upper limit of about 50 individuals, probably less.

Its a common sense thing we live in a real world made up of tangible things, solipsism may be fun to ponder philosophically but its not grounded in reality.

God no, some of the worst dictators in history sprang up from that ideology. Also, the leaders pushing for Marxism today are mostly part of the Twitter mob, and that's extremely dangerous. I don't want the easily offended Twitter mob running the US or any country for the matter.

Probably the best analytical tool for things like sociology. If you think functionalism is correct you essentially support slavery.

Edit: I might be exaggerating a little, just don't think highly of anything that says "poor people have a place in preventing society from collapsing".

Voted Other, calling it a "good thing" or a "bad thing" is too simple.

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.
