1n.  Karl Marx taught, the economy is primary, while the political system is secondary. In this case, then, doesn’t the economical system amount to basically who owns the means of production: land, natural resources, machinery, etc.?

Karl Marx's ideas failed because he didn't allow free will to flourish and be guaranteed to all. The rich deserve to be rich if that is what brings them their personal happiness. However, if one doesn't care to be rich, and one is allowed to be born in this world, the society that allowed the birth has a responsibility to provide for the necessities to maintain the life which was accepted but not agreed to by the infant child born into the differing economical situations established in a world the child had nothing to do with creating. Marx failed to allow human nature to follow its natural course. His disrespect for the rights of all people left his plan doomed from the beginning.
