You have problems with that? Don't you know that Marxism and Freedom are totally incompatible? To have all of the great benefits of Marxism, you must give up a little something.
Benefits of Marxism:
* Slave labor camps for long free vacations
* Fixed wages of worthless money
* No consumer goods to spend it on anyway
* Poor medical care
* Government ownership of everything
* No private enterprise
* Rationing of all essential commodities
* Collectivization of agriculture and confiscation of all farm land
* Chronic food shortages (see previous entry)
* Elimination of traffic problems because nobody can afford either a car or fuel
* Absolute censorship so the citizens are not assailed by evil ideas
Cost of Marxism:
* Loss of All Freedom
* Loss of Prosperity
* Loss of Right of emigration
* Loss of Right of private enterprise
* Loss of Right of free speech
* Loss of Right of freedom of religion
* Loss of Right of freedom of the press
* Loss of Right to trial
* Loss of Right to vote
* Starvation for everybody except the ruling elite
* Oppression for the masses
* Slow and miserable death
Clearly the wonderful benefits outweigh the slight costs.

That checklist was written by Joe Stalin and worked just fine.
