North Korea is definitely Marxist.

China is experimenting with free markets on a limited basis, and hong kong still has a stock exchange, and beijing does... wouldn't call that marxist.

Russia as well has a stock market although they closed out of fear, due to the international financial crisis.

We're seemingly going to the left on financial issues, instead of just letting the free markets do its job.

We bail out large companies, but what about the small shareholders of all these failed institutions, they get the middle finger, as usual. Freddy, Fannie, and AIG's small shareholder, some of whom are ordinary people get screwed. Save all or none.
