Karl Marx theorized that capitalism would eventually fail because the capitalist class would keep seeking to extract more and more surplus wealth from the workers, eventually finding nothing left to extract. The great irony is that this is exactly what is going to happen with socialism: The parasitic socialist class keeps trying to extract more and more taxes from the productive capitalists, and they are increasingly finding that there is little left to extract. Atlas will shrug.

How do you want your capitalism? Under the control of the elite of centralized government under the guise of Communism or to the individual by way of free enterprise?

That is indeed a great irony. Hadn’t thought of that before. Thanks.
