Subject: BS: Marxist View of History--Part Deux
The Communist Manifesto argued that communism was the logical end result of history. Obviously it wasn't. However, I have not seen anything that talks about capitalism (in its many guises) and the logical end result of that. Marxism suggested that the world would come to a static point at which communism would fine tune itself and that would be that. Happy ever after. But capitalism: it looks to be that the logical end result of that is a totalitarian state. Anyone have ideas they want to kick into this?
