Karl Marx

In college I read Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Since then I’ve visited where he was born in Trier, Germany and Humboldt University in Berlin where he and Einstein both studied. One time when I was in London I took the tube up north near Hamstead Heath to Highgate Cemetery to see Marx’s very palatial and non-proletarian grave.

Marxism and communism have some very serious problems inherent in them, and neither will work in real life. But as Pope John Paul II said, “Capitalism, undisciplined by morality, will eventually self destruct.”

The obscene jerks who use corporate aircraft like they were their own personal airplanes, and draw down multimillion dollar bonuses are doing more to destroy capitalism than Karl Marx ever dreamed of.
