What a good line, and absolutely true.
Remember, too, that the one thing Marx actually admired capitalism for, was that it was the most destructive machine the world had ever seen for crushing customary forms of social interaction, traditional communities, and cultural values.
What both libertarian capitalism and communism have in common is that they both view people as merely objects subject to an economic goal. They differ only in that the libertarian capitalist sees that goal as the good of the isolated individual and the communist sees that goal as the collective community. Both are willing to use the individual to advance their objectives.
The true conservative, on the other hand, sees one’s brother and recognizes the inherent dignity and worth of each person. The end does not justify the means and we cannot treat others as objects to advance the good of others, whether the individual or the collective. Conservatism in the West is actually the conservation of our Christian heritage, not the absolutizing of individual freedom. We are bound to treat others not merely with justice but also with charity, i.e. love. This charity would recognize that there are limits to what we are free to do in the pursuit of happiness.
Marxism, communism, socialism, “social justice” are reactions to abuses to human dignity caused by a pagan libertarian capitalism. They err in seeking a redress through government coercion. The conservative needs a limited government not because he cares not for his fellow man but because out of Christian charity he cares for them voluntarily. Take away this voluntary charity between men and those who become the objects of the greed of others will seek redress in the force of the state.
Marx didn’t hate Capitalism. He saw it as a once-progressive force which improved on what it replaced (Feudalism) and that it would naturally ‘give way’ to the next step in History (communism).
