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.

I’m not saying Marx’s economic policies made sense. But he knew how to get people to go where he wanted. And the ‘Rats are using his playbook.

FWIW, the book I'm reading now....

The End of Prosperity.

I wish I could buy every voter in the nation a copy. And that they'd read it.
