Nice article.
In my experience talking with Marxists I have found that they think (wrongly) wealth is like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. (They would never say it this way, having taken no science.)
In this world view, if someone has wealth, they must have gotten it from others. Those others are the workers.
They tend to argue that they should be able to hire the “thinkers” at a “fair” wage to design the computer and the plant. That fair wage may even be slightly higher than the workers wage, but not appreciably higher, and that the thinkers would just happily fill their role in society. Voila - Utopia!
They totally drop the concept of risk, reward, incentive and human nature. In fact they want to change human nature to achieve their socialist goal. They will go so far as to kill you if you don’t want to play in their happy little utopia.
Yes, Lefties all seem to assume the world is a zero sum game. It’s really a pathetically stupid worldview since it cannot account for why we live better than cavemen.
Bump for ponderance after church.
They downplay the role of thinking, while telling us their “brilliant” thoughts. If thinking is so trivial, one wonders why we should even listen to, much less accept their theories. Such people should be shushed as soon as they say, “I think....”.
Maybe they only say this stuff and hope to make workers believe it. It is their only path, with their mediocre minds, to rule over those who have been given superior intellect.Look to where they want complete fairness, you see where they feel inferior.
