The following is a very interesting video on Karl Marx. Whether or not Waldner's accusations are true or not, Marx was rather prescient in many regards, especially as to what (unrestrained) Capitalism would deliver. We are witnessing the extreme contradictions now.
As many skeptics ask today whether or not the gospel Jesus would have been a Christian or not, Marx stated before his death that he was not a Marxist. This as the show discusses that others quickly co-opted his message. Marx was wrong that workers would automatically globally join together, like magnetism, as they are generally too focused on their day to day concerns, including mind-numbing entertainments as well as struggles.
Apparently, Marx also thought that workers would come together peacefully to bring about change, but this too was redirected .. as breaking eggshells to make an omelet. But, who's omelet? The workers or the elites who co-opted the workers? As is the fact, Western capitalists came to the financial and physical aid of the Russian 'socialists' and the German 'socialist workers'. With the latter we know the facts that the lil' Austrian infiltrated the German Workers Party (the DAP cum NSDAP) under the employ of the German military, who for sure did not have a socialist bone in their bodies. Same for the lil' Austrian who steered the socialist party to the will and profit of the German industrialists, which is technically Fascism.
Under Fascism, the private capitalist has less concerns as to risk taking, as the state guarantees the use of his assets and thus his profit, and even telling the capitalist what to produce. All even easier if there is a war to prosecute. We must stop those evil godless Bolsheviks, (whom are also financed by our capitalist Western friends. And thanks be to Godz and the Okhrana who first employed Meester 'Stalin').
