      Marx was surprisingly ahead of his time when it came to labor relations. It’s mostly a labor of translating how people talked centuries ago to today.

        I’m amazed that a drunk German guy could logic this stuff out in the 1860’s while people today with the internet don’t even understand how their own lives are controlled by economics. Most people don’t even know how the electricity gets to their lights. There is a dearth of education in our society.

            Yeah he was. I just find it funny that he understood this more than century ago, while the average American doesn’t even understand what’s in their cereal. It’s wild.
