MARXIST WANNABE!

The year 1989 was marked by one of the most significant events in the modern history;I mean the collapse of Soviet Union,which was referred to - by western political analysts and others - as the proof of the disastrous failure of communism as an ideology , and its incapacity to survive and defend itself! However,some teenagers think otherwise! Driving a brand new Chevrolet,smoking marlboro or being dressed in Nike suits , does not make him feel shameful whenever he repeats common communist slogans like a parrot !!!!! In fact,such slogans & terms that have obviously marked the Marxist theory as well as the emergence and escalation of the totaliterian regimes across the world during the past century;have highly contributed to the contemporary poupularity of Marxism among young & half-educated (kids)!Teens usually find themselves fascinated (or rather obsessed) with extraordinary or utopian concepts !!!! Revolution,struggle of people,dictatorship of proletariat,abolition of private property,socialism,equality(in communist terms),Leninism and even the iconic image of the world-known Marxist revolutionary Che GUEVARA.....the above-mentioned (icons), seem so attractive to those who would like to make spectacle of themselves !
It is clear that an overwhelming ideology like Liberalism ,is not actually well welcomed by the new comrades , as it doesn't come up to that fictional level that they are targeting ! Liberalism, with its more natural & rational principles , doesn't sound interesting! Even freedom,which is the core concept of Liberalism,can be arbitrarily transformed by a MARXIST WANNABE, into a pure communist value ........May I burst out laughing?!
