Race and Class Matters & Modern Day Slavery

7. Marx did write Das Capital

He did NOT write the communist manifesto. Of that I'm sure. Marx was an economist. He analyzed capitalism and found it wanting.

I've read some of Das Capital - a translation with comments. But it is huge. So it will take me awhile.

I think we as a species must evolve away from capitalism as an economic system if we are to survive on this planet. We managed to evolve out of fuedalism and slavery. Now we must evolve out of capitalism or we will perish or regress back into feudalism and slavery.

The next step is socialism. We have no choice. But the type of socialism will make all the difference. I believe a socialism that leaves control of the means of production and the resultong profits in the hands of those who do the work wil be the best. We can not trust owners, CEOs, board of directors, shareholders and corporte executives to do what is best for all of us.when those corporate and business executives make decisions, those decisions impact us all. Such decisions can not be left in the hands of people with no resposibility or affect from the results.
