Karl Marx, The Political Activist We Need Now More Than Ever
The CIA would have him meet with a mysterious accident or the media would demonise him. Marx would never survive today. Only the voices that are less threatening to the establishment are allowed.
But we could definitely do with some Marxist things like co-operatives, whereby the workers of a company own the company and have a say in how it's run. They also receive a share of the profits - profits they have created. That seems quite fair to me.
Instead we are taught to ridicule that idea, put it in the 'axis of evil' pigeonhole and worship Jeff Bezos, a multi billionaire who sucked up the profits created by his workforce, a workforce that needs to claim food stamps to survive.
Coops are a great idea to reduce the power of multinationals, but it will take many, and they are few. It would be good if the idea went viral, perhaps because people view it as far fetched. IDK why people don't consider it.
