Your ideas in the present world

   

Dear Karl Marx,

I would like to ask you if you keep your think your ideas could be put into practice in the present world (which is domained by capitalism). I am afraid it is not easy, because the system of capitalism eats any alternative society. From my point of view, your ideas would be possibly become real only if is a global movement against capitalism and a global transformation of human values.

Thank you

                      My "idea" as you call it, is actually the corrosive substance dissolving capitalism. My "idea" is that capitalism produces the objective forces that will lead it to its doom. These forces are economical (tendencial decline of the profit fee) and social (extortion of the surplus value and the struggle against it). Capitalism is everything you want except stability. The passage is its instability towards a new social order, the communist order, such is my "idea". Facts will confirm it. The only question is: when?
