" Incentive " did not begin with capitalism


Science teaches that human beings have been living and surviving on this planet for several million years. " Incentive " did not begin with capitalism .

Ancient slavery also gave the slaves " incentive " to work in those cruel gold and silver mines, those fertile fields of wrath: there was always suicide as a way out.

The working class in 2016 is in the same horrible situation as when Frederick Engels wrote about the condition of the English working class way back in 1844.

What " incentive " is there in low wage jobs ? Why should working class people - the vast majority of the nation- love capitalism ? Marx explained all this very well in " The Communist Manifesto " . Later Engels explained their ideology in " Socialism - Utopian and Scientific ".

Also very instructive : " The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State ". And Lenin's classic " The State and Revolution ".

What do all these pseudo-liberal, bourgeois, academic, charlatan scholars offer as a rational explanation for the misery of this world ? They are presently besotted with " identity politics " .
