I can believe if Karl Marx were alive today, he would join the Tea Party
It was a different century then. A scientist has to conform to the facts, not to theory. The ironic point is the Left of course is nothing like the theory predicted and instead of being oppressed, the proletarians enjoy a higher standard of living and more freedom than ever before! Any serious study of our modern life would lead to this conclusion. We’re not living in the 19th Century anymore and the Communist Manifesto is no longer an accurate description of existing social reality. So yes, I can believe the scientist would have to change his views. One must discover the facts from life. Its the basis of the scientific method.
Exactly. Advice to the clueless:
1) Marx lied.
2) He lied for the rich, because the bourgeois middle class was growing to happy successful, powerful and free.
3) He lied so that stupid young people would attack their own families and destroy their own countries in the name of defeating the rich, so that the rich would not be threatened by the happy middle class.
4) That explains the "mystery" of communist billionares like Soros, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and their millionaire enablers like Clinton, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein and the rest of Congress.
Yes, Karl Marx would back off his initial thesis, based on 19th century London, because it is no longer the 19th century and he was never stupid...just unnerved by the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution...he would have been the first to have admitted that he was wrong as a soothsayer. Flame me now my comrades.
