Karl Marx is showing up around the net with this quote from Das Kapital:
“Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism…”
Before scaring anyone let me just confess to belonging to the very liberal and slightly dark right crowd . It is an interesting quote though and Das Kapital is an interesting book (yes I’ve only read the summary).
