I actually read Das Kapital. It’s like reading a phone book. I dare you to read the first 50 pages and stay awake. You don’t have to take Marx apart because the Democrats/liberals/socialists don’t actually read his crap. They just want to take power and find they can’t do it in the system they’re in. So, they start talking about redistributing land and wealth and the stupid in the society believe them, and kill a bunch of innocent people, and then put in charge the people who weren’t smart enough to rise to the top in the old society. Talk about a death-spiral of government.
Yes, I know, but he is still their hero. It is precisely because they do not read Marx that they do not understand what Marxism really is.
I call it the "Nero complex" - burn it down and rebuild it with their own design.
Hard leftists want to embolden & empower the "lumpenproletariat" - the poorest of the poor. This gives them an army (physical, economic, etc.) to appropriate and/or destroy the competition (evil capitalists). Then they can step in and take over.
Looking at Obamanomics through this lens and it all makes perfect sense.
