Engels in Anti-Dühring says: " From a scientific standpoint, this appeal to morality and justice does not help us an inch further; moral indignation, however justifiable, cannot serve economic science as an argument, but only as a symptom. "

Self-denial, the denial of life and of all human needs, is its cardinal doctrine. The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance-hall, the public-house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc, the more you save--the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour--your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life--the greater is the store of your estranged being." (Karl Marx, Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844) _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
