Karl Marx advocated for no government at all, and that's what hard-core Marxism really is, which is a far cry from what we see in Russia today.Nice try though.
Sorry, but no he didn't, no it isn't, and it's a far cry from what Russia
ever was.
You make Marx sound like a (anarcho)-libertarian or a conservative ideologue.
However, if what you mean when you say
"no government" is no authoritarian state using its power apparatus to impose its will on the people, then we're on the right track: Marx wanted to do away with
the state, i.e. the body or the agency imposing the will of the capitalist class on the rest of the population (and sometimes on individual capitalists or fractions or segments of the capitalist class that were unwilling to 'get with the program'. And he didn't want an alternative non-capitalist state to replace it except for during the transitional period when the proletariat imposed its will to do away with capitalism, i.e. class society.
Engel's (fairly short) essay
On Authority gives you an
idea of what he and Marx meant, but some of his real-world analogies are imperfect, e.g. the captain of a ship: a ship is often a miniature version of class society with an awful lot of proletarians doing the unpleasant and dirty work and the captain on the bridge in his crisp white uniform ruling them.
The point is that it is always necessary to have people of authority in the sense of
knowledge and insight based on studies and experience to plan what to do. It is not necessary to have somebody to impose the purpose of the shipping company on its employees who never had a way to influence that purpose and are there to simply obey orders without any insight in what that purpose is or how it's accomplished. Their willingness to 'get with the program' should be based on the sharing of that knowledge held by the people in authority, i.e. it should not be
authoritarian.
Dudalb's claim that Cuba after the revolution is an example of a country
"where the government had complete control of the economy, trtied to subsitute government order and directions for basic Market forces" is a lie. In no other country (that I know of!) are common people, workers more involved in decision-making than in Cuba. I've visited many Cuban institutions and factories, and what I found astonishing is being introduced to not only management but also menial workers. When I was with a group of teachers visiting schools and other educational institutions, we met not only management and teachers but also janitors and cleaners. Unfortunately, our group didn't include any of the latter, and it would never have occurred to our organizers to include them. (It also didn't occur to me or the (now former) chairman of the Danish-Cuban Friendship Associations also a high-school teacher, and unlike the others we weren't ignorant of this aspect of Cuban society!)
This is how important decisions at state level are made in Cuba:

So do the hoops that republicans would need to go through in the modern legal and governmental systems we have today... but a lot of youse seem quite certain that they're actively installing a fascist regime.
