Who are the real Marxist? The 0.01% ... the Capitalists ...


The global capitalists of the world are the real Marxists. They have learned the most from Marx's critiques of capitalism, and have used it against American citizens to their great profit. That is, in the last 40 years the average workers compensation has remained the same, while the CEO and the Professional Managerial Class salaries have gone up 1o times that.

Karl Marx was absolutely brilliant, probably the only economist that ever really added to the understanding of the economy instead of coming up with new ideas of how to screw workers over.

This is front and center basic Karl Marx, "Das Kapital", Volume I, Chapter 25.

Capitalism cannot operate effectively at full employment because full employment gives workers too much bargaining power.

Mass unemployment produces a reserve army of labor that competes with the employed to keep labor prices down.

We see this now in the face that after the pandemic when workers made some modest gains, corporations have raised their prices approximately double that, to knock them back down and are in the process of taking back those gains and pushing unemployment up to reduce worker bargaining power.

The people who really understand Marxism are the global elites, which explains why they denounce Marx's writings so consistently. They do not want the average person to understand the brilliant explanations in Marx's writings.

That's why people like Bezos support democrats. At some point, you prefer good, quiet compliant consumers to low taxes.
