Jim,
     I did not mean that the vision was pathetic.  I
meant that the actual outcome in light of the vision/

CB: It was not Marx's vision that the state would whither away until there were no

therefore not pathetic within Marx's "vision". He was much less utopian than you are 
about. Didn't promise a rose garden in socialism.
