Pete Seeger:
Afterthought:
Karl Marx was an excellent economist, but a lousy prophet. His analysis of the past was as accurate as his prediction of the future fantastickal.
I have long believed that his prophet’s vision of a “dictatorship of the proletariat” leading to a world of “from each according to his abilities to each according to his means” was a desperate, deluded fantasy–an intellectual short-circuit–born of his economist seeing no way to escape capitalist dystopia.
And those engineers of dystopia, the concentrators of wealth and goblins of greed, are as alive and well, as busy today as they were in Marx’s era.
