>Is there a reason as to why a Marxist-Leninist planned economy couldn't work today?
Because it doesn't work. It's a retarded idea that's been proven wrong every time it's been tried. Even in Russia (where it ruled over one of the most resource rich areas on the planet without opposition) or China (where it had the unwavering support of one of the most populous nations to ever exist) it couldn't survive - and either died slowly and painfully in Russia, or morphed into authoritarian state-capitalism wearing a Marxist skin suit in China. The idea is dead. It was never alive. Anybody announcing that they are a Marxist, after so much proof of the inferiority of the idea, is either announcing that they're retarded, or that they think they can exploit the retarded enough to gain power for themselves.
