    Karl Marx or Adam Smith

    If you had a choice to live in either Marx's society or Smith's society, which one would you choose and why.

    Make your decision based on practicallity and and how realistic it is. Not the theory behind it.

    Also, can anybody help me solve these 2x+y=3 shenanigans? It's really bothering me, on a, um, deep and theoretical level.

        but if they had to be different integers x could be 0 and y could be 3.

          Really no matter what there is a solution to it, put in a number for X and you can find a Y. Right?

            right.
            x can equal 100 and y can equal - 197

                I'll actually answer your poll, and your question: While Marx's concept of communism would work and it's a decent theory, it's application is nearly impossible. Human nature goes against it. However, Adam Smith's theory on economics has been proven via Hong Kong.

                Personally I strongly believe in consumer driven economics.

                ps - That equation is the basis of algebra, everyone else has answered appropriately.
