So Karl Marx was right after all
Comment on Inequality and Democracy in the United States
American socialists are amused to see that our undemocratic ”
democracy ” is a surprise to any honest observer of the American
political scene. Do the arithmetic: how can the ONE PERCENT amass as
much ” earning power ” as the rest of the population combined ? Long ago
Karl Marx explained the ” secret ” of capitalist profit making. Marx
said the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. And the state
is essentially a group of armed men serving the wealthy property owning
classes. Education in this society is essentially an education in
subservience to the demands of big capital. The collapse of the Soviet
Union did not prove the excellence of wage slavery.
So Marx was right after all.
