He was rambling. I didn’t read it as bashing capitalism — just bashing the pseudo-capitalism that our increasingly socialist-Marxist government is imposing on us.
Why, of all things, did he choose the following to conclude his "manifesto"? The first one is a quote from Karl Marx. The second is a slap in the face to Capitalism. When are we going to stop making excuses for the blatantly obvious?
The communist creed:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed:
From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.

Yep. He went on & on about crony capitalism, i.e. capitalism corrupted by big government control & collusion, which is what we have now. In addition, he was pretty much anti-everything. Very negative. Only positive thing in there was the unmodified Communist creed. Hard to categorize, but a 60s-reject, counter-culture, commie sympathizer with anarchist tendencies IMHO.
