Listen to what I have to say. It's for your benefit and the benefit of other people too.
Karl Marx was a 19th century philosopher. His knowledge was primitive compared to what we know today. Dont think that Marx was god and socialism/communism is perfection.
You know which big mistakes Marx made?
1. He believed he knows the perfect society - proletarian dictatorship.
Truth is --- there is no perfect society. As humans learn more, we better understand what is a "good" and "bad" society. It is absolutely foolish to think that 19th century marxism is the ultimate society. There can always be something better --- even if we dont know it yet.
2. Marx believed every other system is inferior to proletarian dictatorship. Marx wrote, do whatever is necessary to achieve a proletarian dictatorship because it is the best system. This means stopping/destroying anyone who may have better ideas. It means not allowing society to change into anything better than proletariatian dictatorship. This is a huge huge mistake. The result is guys like fidel castro, who blind themselves to anything other than proletarian dictatorship. That is why Cuba became so primitive. Too many people are blind (or afraid) and their brains stopped learning and advancing. Too many people can not accept that anything could be better than proletarian dictatorship. It's like when a very religious person can not accept that his books about god may be wrong. This type of person can not advance in wisdom.
Finally, it's very dangerous to tell people to rebel and revolt. They may have different ideas and goals than you. I believe that revolution should be from bottom to top (not top to bottom). It means, first, convince the people to change and if enough people like your ideas, then they will "convince" their government to change (peacefully). If you can not convince enough people to want change, then you dont deserve change. It means not enough people like your ideas (or they dont understand) and you should not force your ideas onto the world, if most people dont like it (or dont understand).
