-Caveat Lector-
Joshua quoted:
Of all the modern economic theories, the economic system
of Marxism is founded on moral principles, while capitalism
is concerned with only with gain and profitability. Marxism
is concerned with the distribution of wealth on an equal basis
and the equitable utilization of the means of production.
MJ:
Wealth is created.
To 'distribute' this created wealth 'equally' requires SOME
to produce at the expense of others.
How is this moral?
Joshua quoted:
It is also concerned with the fate of the working
classes--that is the majority--as well as the with the
fate of those who are underprivileged and in need, and
Marxism cares about the victims of minority-imposed
exploitation. For those reasons the system appeals
to me, and it seems fair. I just recently read an
article a paper where his holiness the Pope also
pointed out some positive aspects of Marxism...
MJ:
Marxism is only concerned with those who are charged with
overseeing its implementation. Marx IGNORES thinking.
A cultist wrote a verbose Novel 35 years or so ago which
addresses this Utopia of Living off of others ... and
what happens when the Men of the Mind 'shrug'.
Bill:
Perhaps, but he's also 100% accurate.
MJ:
About which part? The author has little understanding of
Marx and Capitalism.

It The rich adopt novelties and become accustomed to their use. This
sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have
adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to
improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible
for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers
progress. Innovation 'is the whim of an elite before it becomes
a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of
tomorrow.' Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops
latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they
think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend
the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming
in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.
-- Ludwig von Mises
