"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"

Who said this?

Was it Barack Obama two years ago as he began his presidential campaign?
No, it wasn’t.

Perhaps it was Fidel Castro, some ten years ago, as he predicted with eerie certainty the mess that the greedy capitalist economy would end up in if it didn’t mend its ways
No, wrong again.

It had to be Putin five years ago when the Russian leader gave that powerful speech at the G8 summit that had the media scrambling to describe him as madman for such crazy visions and accusing him of trying to divide the world into the prehistoric set-up that existed when Brezhnev was in power in the seventies.
No definitely not, but at least you are in the right country.


It was Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867!

Scary isn’t it?
