Given the current status of the state in which we live in it is interesting to reflect upon different teachings I learned while in college. One that is so striking to me is the following statement translated into english from the essay Das Kapital (I believe).
"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of 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 banks which will have to be nationalized and State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism."
Some might ask who wrote this and I am quick to answer that it is a hero to many; especially (and scarily enough) to many in the United States. They are the words of a mid-nineteenth century thinker by the name of Karl Marx. Hmmmm... maybe he was right. I sure hope not.
