This page suggests Marx may have been more correct than you think.

You just linked to a page that uses “the anarchy of capitalist production” in a non-satirical manner.

Here’s even more abject idiocy…

Summary

Karl Marx dedicated most of his life to the analysis of capitalism One of the major questions which he addressed was whether or not capitalism would improve the material life of the working majority of the world’s population in any measure proportional to capitalism’s obvious ability to increase our productive capacity.

Meanwhile, I am a 44 yr old HS grad whose most impressive job title was “Lead-Receiving Dock” -where I made $12.50/hr in 1992.

Yet, I’m currently sitting in my air-conditioned condo communicating with you through my computer on the internet(my computer has more ‘power’ than the entire US govt. used putting humans on the moon 40 yrs ago)- while the Republican Pres. convention is playing on my 52″ LCD HDTV in the background.

Should I mention that I recently rolled my “horseless carriage” at an ‘inconceivable’ velocity (65 MPH) to any 19th century denizen-and I suffered an injury that was well known- but completely irreparable in 1860? In 2006, an Indian doctor sliced my arm open, ‘reset’ my elbow and wrist, bolted a titanium plate onto my fractured ulna to hold it in place, then stapled me up.

I personally think my “material life” has advanced quite nicely when compared to Marx’s existance… I can even afford to shower everyday!

Leaving out some details of course, what his socialist-end state requires is a stripping away of equality, to be replaced by equal outcome.

The middle-class – in whatever era definition one chooses to subscribe to – stands in the way to this absolute necessity of equal outcome.

It’s one thing to get Joe Sixpack to vote for some hair-brained populism, but it’s quite another to convince him to give up his late model Ford F-250, plasma TV, and weekends on the lake so that the looters down the street can feel better about themselves and their self-imposed misery.

The Democrats *intend* to impoverish the middle class, by creating artificial shortages of both housing and fuel, so that soon, only the rich will be able to afford to drive or to have nice homes. The rest of us riff-raff can go live in crowded apartment towers and commute to work on public transit. We’re simply too *common* to be allowed to live next door to the likes of Al Gore, Ted Turner, or Dianne Feinstein.

This is the real purpose of the scam known as urban planning. (And I’ll bet a lot of the old racial segregationists still back it for that reason, too.)

An environmentalist is someone willing to believe that the rich politicians who impose this scam on us are doing it to “save the earth”, rather than to satisfy their own personal greed and elitism without having to pay out of their own pockets for the land they “protect”.

“Obama said that anybody who makes less than 150k is poor.”

So I guess when his wife got that $300k/yr position at a Chicago hospital they were still “middle class”. How can anybody trust any words that come out of his mouth?

Obama said that anybody who makes less than 150k is poor.

These people have been trumpeting this economic crap for 6 years now, and most of it is completely false.

The actual truth is Rahm Emanuel and his econ-flunkie brethren have exactly zero knowledge of economics and therefore shouldn’t be talking about it.
