Parasitic capitalists - a point to ponder.

Fuck the poor, they have no power or they'd be rich.

Kill 'em. They're a waste of space.

Start with my parents, an abandoned 11 year old boy and a "mother" to five siblings when she was eight. Lazy bastards should have been born rich so I could be dictating this post instead of typing it. (Me be JOB CREATORMAN!)

Can we at least get rid of the "unsuccessful" parasites? Those non-workers that drain a working society through welfare and other benefits while never contributing?

You want "lumpen proletariat" there.

Is that what the commies call the millions that Stalin and Mao had executed?

I am beginning to grasp your level of involvement here.

The profit motive is the only driver of the ruling class at the moment. There was a period where the benevolent largess of a few rich people was spent on making the lot of those they exploited a little better. No longer however except in a few exceptional cases.

The profit motive sees greater and greater competition to reduce staff costs and currently the developed world is in a race to reduce its costs to compete with the newly emerging economies. That will result in increasing poverty for ordinary people in the developed world as more and more people are thrown out of work or take very poorly paid jobs.

Of course capitalism has its own in built contradictions, one of which is that it destroys its own markets by doing this.

Governments will try to keep social order in the face of the above, but in due course the people will revolt again. Marxism is not dead - not by a long way.

I don't agree with by any means everything George Orwell wrote, but didn't somebody in 1984 say, "If there is hope for the future, it lies with the proles."

I'm going to have yet another go at this, hoping I can keep my temper if arseholes wrench my thoughts out of all recognition, and then make offensive personal attacks on me under the guise of "reason".

I hope that humanity is working towards a state in which we can all get on together motivated by altruism, and not (as at present) by materialism. Marxism was an attempt at that, and sadly its principles were perverted by totalitarians in failed societies such as the USSR. And I don't know how it can be implemented, but I believe it's the only way there can be genuine hope for humanity. No god, and nobody wanting more than they need, and everybody working for others.

Exactly why I am a Marxist, however 'neo' I may be.
