Participant[quote=DriveByLurker][quote=arraya]Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more
and more expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them
to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt
becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of
the banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State
will have to take the road which will eventually lead to
Communism.”
