I can definitely see how the ideas of Marx would be appealing to many today, per my comments on another thread:
“The world definitely seems to be evolving into a more hostile environment on all fronts, but it really shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise when you realize, even in the US, much of the population are literally fighting for their lives when it comes to things like long-term financial security/survival (and all that includes–jobs, retirement, education, housing–etc.) for themselves and their families. Since a lot of anger goes along with that, it does tend to create chaos in society at many levels.”
Does this point to the self-destruction of capitalism as Marx predicted? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
