Quote by Aleksandr Zinovyev

The firmest proof that Marxism is not science but an ideology is Marxism's attitude to the experience of the real communist (or socialist) societies.

The firmest proof that Marxism is not science but an ideolog

Summary

This quote suggests that the way Marxism views and reacts to real communist or socialist societies is evidence that Marxism is not a scientific theory but rather an ideology. By implying that Marxism fails to acknowledge or adequately address the shortcomings or failures of these societies, it claims that Marxism's biased attitude towards the practical application of its principles undermines its claim to being a scientific, objective analysis of socioeconomic systems. Instead, it insinuates that Marxism is driven by ideological belief rather than empirical evidence.

True Socialism, in which everyone is truly equal, does not just resemble a prison - it is a prison. It can not exist unless it is surrounded by high walls, by watchtowers and by guard-dogs, for people always want to escape from any socialist regime, just as they do from a prison. If you continue your attempts to establish a model society you will need to build walls around it. You will be forced to do so sooner or later by the flood of refugees..
