This article makes it sound as if you are not really familar with Marxism at all.

Both the USSR, Cuba, China, North Korea and Vietnam, where not examples of “socialism” or as Marx refered to it as the lower stage of Communism, because they all exemplifed commodity production, or the production of things that have serve uses in society but must be exchanged to do so. Therefore all of these countries would be a example of State Capitalism. In which the state is the employer to everyone. The only people who consider those countries “socialist” are people who call themselves Marxist-Leninist, they’ve only read a bit more Marx than you.

Also Venezuela is a country that faces alot of outside attacks from the USA, and for one thing its Ideology is not Marxist Socialist… its Democratic Socialist at best, there is still private property in Venezuela.

Marx never said anything about, the government taxing corporations and putting “higher” regulations on them, if anything thats Social Democracy and not Marxism. There wouldn’t be “corporations” the way we are talking about them today because there would be a free association of producers. The society would own everything, not the state or a private owner.

Theres dozen of other things wrong with this that make it sound like you have no Idea what your talking about, and I think thats a bit clear from the fact you used a quote from Spark Notes. Not what I would consider the most academic source. Maybe try reading things first before you write about them? Or try expanding your “understanding” rather than just spewing anti-communist McCarthyist propaganda.
