Bet you can't even properly define Marxism. There are elements of it that are good. Much of it is just observation of what happens when you let capitalism run wild and destroy society. There has probably never been a actual implementation of Marxism. The Soviet Union failed and went Stalinist. The lesson to be learned from the French Revolution is the chopped the heads off of corrupt capitalists but then became corrupt socialists and chopped their own heads off. The kind of "Marxism" if at all that Obama is "shown trying to revive" is known at Neo-Liberalism or corporate communism. Ridley Scott refer to the world "Bladerunner" as corporate communism. It is not a good solution either. The solution is socialism for things that need to be in the commons and small business free enterprise for those who want to run their own businesses. Best of both worlds. Probably a too "enlightened" though obvious solution for an ignorant society. What most people are afraid of is not communism but authoritarianism.
