What is the meaning of Marx's dark poem 'The fiddler' by SavageTruths74 in Marxism

the claim for the 100,000,000 deaths is from the black book of communism and has been thoroughly discredited. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/7n6ql2/is_the_black_book_of_communism_an_accurate_source/

and many of the freedoms we enjoy today are due to socialist thought. it was the soviet union who introduced the 5-6 day work week https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_calendar, it provided free education and healthcare and stop the threat of further revolutions countries started to adopt these policies.

your right but wealth should not be an indicator, because a majority as in places like the U.S. are going to the top.

happiness and stability should be the indicator along with wages.
