I think this is a result, but I don’t think it was the intent. Socialism is the intent.

But not the final goal, I think...

Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.

Keep posting this stuff so we know the truth, even if we don’t like it.

Yeah, but Marx was so wrong about so much, we can't even take anything he said seriously. For example, at one point we had a national bank that was dozens of times larger than ANY private bank---yet it died once and was killed a second time. The national bank system installed in the CW was really weaker than the state bank system until the Federal Reserve System was created.

I think too often BOTH liberals and conservatives give Marx too much credit for smarts. He was an intellectual thief who cut and pasted ideas and was NEVER right about anything.
