Karl Marx on bourgeois intellectuals : " To every dog his master is divine "

    The growing popularity of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and maverick Republican Donald Trump will make the 2016 presidential election the most interesting the rotten two party system  has offered the voters in the new century. Both of these unusual candidates agree that the American Dream is dead.
     As a democratic Socialist I am delighted with Pope Francis' scathing criticism of global capitalism that only reinforces the " progressive " message of Bernie Sanders.
          People must begin to understand what Marxists understood  more than a century ago : the capitalist system is doomed .It can no longer serve any progressive purpose. Even if it should stabilize again ( highly unlikely ), it will offer idealistic young people nothing more than vacuous adventures in consumerism -while it continues to ruin the Good Earth
          What it does offer the world right now is the endless nightmare of war and economic misery. And the more irrational it becomes the more its " intellectual " apologists sing it praises, blathering that it is all about FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY and the GOOD LIFE. But for whom  - the ONE PERCENT ?
    Just study the faces of these professional lackeys  whenever the word SOCIALISM pops up in a positive way.
     Karl Marx said in a footnote to Das Kapital : " To every dog his master is divine ".
