| Just get a load of his twisted language... conceptual corruption.
...the system [capitalism] breeds freedom as well as barbarism, emancipation along with enslavement. Capitalist society generates enormous wealth, but in a way that cannot help putting it beyond the reach of most citizens. Even so, that wealth can always be brought within reach. It can be disentangled from the acquisitive, individualist forms which bred it, invested in the community as a whole, and used to keep disagreeable work to the minimum. It can thus release men and women from the chains of economic necessity into a life where they are free to realize their creative potential. This is Marx's vision of communism."

| So the capitalists can be robbed and the loot distributed to the undeserving... 'to release them from economic necessities of life...'
Just what every thief aspires to... |
