I've probably read more Marxist literature than you. I had read several hundred tomes of Marxist literature and spent a huge portion of my college and post college days reading Marxian leaning magazines.

Finally, one day, I was sitting in a group of Marxian professors at the local university listening to the professors yammer on and on and on and on and on and on about money.

Finally, it dawned on me.

The people who are most obsessed with mone are the people who have Marxian inspired education.

I can prove this.

If there is even a small portion of your indoctrinated brain that still functions. I would like to ask you to answer a simple question.

What is the single most influential economic text ever written.

No, it is not "Wealth of Nationals."

You know the book which book I am talking about.

Yep.

The single most influential text ever written is a three tome monstrosity called "Das Kapital" by a spiteful troll named Karl Marx.

The first time I read Das Kapital, I was trying to understand Communism. The second time I read it I realized that Marx was doing something far more sinister.

Marx was following addages from the Art of War. The General who defines the battlefield is likely to win the war.

Marx's goal was to raise people in revolution. He wanted to raise the masses in a conflict against the middle class that was benefiting from the industrial revolution.

So, to raise people in a revolution, Marx created a distorted economic system that valued capital over the other elements of production.

Marx raised people into revolution. The Black Book of Communism details the brutal deaths of a hundred million people last century by Communist regimes. The total number of deaths that resulted from this poisonous book is far greater.

You can do ngram searches on Google and you will find someting surprising. The terms "capitalism" and "capitalist" were rarely used before Marx. When the terms were used, they usually had radically different meanings.

In other words: Karl Marx is the father of capitalism.

Das Kapital is probably the most influential book of the modern era.

When you read Das Kapital, you must ask: What was Marx doing?

Marx was trying to create a revolution. He was trying to define his enemy (the middle class) in a way that would raise the people in a revolution against the middle class.

Marx's capital creates an unbalanced economy that values capital more than the other elements of production.

Marx's capitalism creates a totally imbalanced society.

Anyway, you stupid parable is not about the way that a free market works. It is about the way that Marx's capitalism works.

Unfortunately, people are so indoctrinated that they simply do not understand the source the of the ideas that are floating in their heads.

BTW, if you look at the economy, you will notice that people with a Marxian mindset make the most vicious capitalists. Look at China. Members of the CCP are obsessed with money and they are skilled at dominated markets.

That is because people with a Marxian mindset have a tendency to become obsessed with money.
