    Reading Marx, Engels, and Lenin is equally enlightening and depressing because the capitalists didn’t change their ways at all. They only adapted to the new technologies to oppress the workers.

      what amazes me is that Marx always seems to have a response to any criticism. But maybe that just means no one has changed their criticisms in over 150 years. I still hear liberals misunderstand the labor theory of value even though Marx describes it in the first 5 pages of Capital.
