#KarlMarx authorized any means necessary to establish communism. When those inevitably violent means are used to set up states that collapse after killing and enslaving millions, his apologists claim it just "wasn't real communism" and try again. #Marx200 pic.twitter.com/nQ76vvY0Oc

Did you see "Death of Stalin?" Soviet propaganda could not increase the productivity of communist workers to Western levels. To incentivize workers, communists had to resort to terror. In the long run, free economies tend to produce higher growth. https://t.co/VlzoJK8zAp pic.twitter.com/mcsxc8yy9K

Long-lasting developments are slow & persistent. But some countries have caught up very quickly.

South Korea
1950: every 5th child died before 5th birthday.
2015: nearly 100-fold lower.

Now same as Sweden, lower than UK & USA.https://t.co/aFvvFsSaz6 pic.twitter.com/WuBFgSdKxB

For two centuries global income inequality increased.
Over the last two decades – the period shown here – this long-term trend came to an end and reversed: global income inequality is now falling.
