who missed Karl Marx?

Question

Capitalism is going on "fetishist" and workers and officers are not happy instead of employer. who read Karl Marx's "capital"?

Answer 1

Yes I did.Karl Marx analysis is still accurate and relevant in many ways.."You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few 6 is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society." Karl Marx is still relevant today!
His methods of solving the problems he brings to the table are outdated and not mine

But Marx was a smart man and he has nothing to do with the perverse totalitarian regime that Stalin made.When Stalin took over the USSR stopped being Marxist in any way shape or form

Answer 2

In the real world there are all kinds of compromises to any 'system'... Communism famously doesn't work because you can't keep selfish people from wanting to take from everyone else.

Capitalism is a complex system. But it is arguably undermined when a few corporations buy out all the rest and thereby destroy the competition that is at the heart of the free market.

The current situation is that there is no free market. A few very powerful men own far too much of the means of production, and anyone with a better technology or idea is immediately undermined, bought out and discarded by the powers at the top.

I support Capitalism. I do not see it in evidence. Otherwise we would not still be living in the petroleum age. Old wealth, not wanting to go out of power, has destroyed the system.

What we have now is a new kind of Corporate Feudalism, international in nature, and diametrically opposed to Democracy at every turn.

Answer 3

Nobody with even half a brain misses Karl Marx. This is the guy in whose name upwards of 50 million people have been murdered. If Karl Marx is the answer, then you asked the wrong question. See the film - "The Live of Others" 2006 about the secret police in communist East Germany.

Answer 4

I don't understand your question. I did read Das Capital and found the arguments to be basically flawed. Especially the part about the value of products. Karl Marx completely ignores the investment of the capitalist and the risk he bears. Instead, he attributes all value accrual to workers' effort.

Answer 5

Don't miss Karl Marx or any of the other Marx brothers, especially Harpo.

Answer 6

Agreed, Marx' whole thinking was flawed. Profit cannot be the extent to which a worker's value is stolen from him - that makes no sense. There are plenty of industries in which companies that pay their workers more are profitable and companies that pay their workers less are not. Companies generally pay nearly the same for the same work in the same environments - - - the guy who sweeps the floor for the highly profitable company isn't paid less than the guy who sweeps the floor for the money loser. He's just more likey to keep his job and advance.

Answer 7

I haven't read Marx's Das Kapital. Although what I have read about the book is that some of marxist's premises are wrong. Value of goods are not based on the value of labor. This is why no country has obtained Marx's grand paradise of communism. Value is based on how consumers perceive the product.

Answer 8

sitting, fishing a quiet trout river as the sun begins to sink in in the west, KARL MARX always comes to mind, and with the thoughts, a profound sadness and a heaviness of heart... incidentally, WHO, was KARL MARX??

Answer 9

I read it. The guy had a point, but wake up! this is real life, there is too much potential for corruption in that system.

Answer 10

I've never missed him. His body died in the late 1800s. His ideas FINALLY died in 1989.
