[ Marx wanted the DESTRUCTION of the middle class. He HATED the middle class. He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.
Since that wouldnt be feasible in a lot of places, he proposed the ideas above. He told his followers: implement high taxes. Push for regulations and labor unions. Fight income inequality using the power of the government.
That will destroy the middle class.
So here we sit in 2014. Weve implemented all this Marxist drivel and Krugman is stunned that the middle class is taking it on the chin? ]
The middle class is the ones that most likely stand up against oppressive control... this is why the marxists have to destroy it before finally seizing power.
