Both Smith and Marx's writing were viewed very differently than from what the authors intended, especially regarding the circumstances in the societies in which people tried to mold their entire society around. Unlike religious text, they really were taken out of context. However, like religion, they were treated as holy text and used as excuses to do a lot of damage. I'm not against Communism or Capitalism, I think both need to be understood and implemented in correct ways and you would get a better society.GamingAssholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893393481302216659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6256742264105714197.post-12330595031897777332008-05-20T06:31:00.000-07:002008-05-20T06:31:00.000-07:00I agree with you -- it is the fight between advoca...I agree with you -- it is the fight between advocates of communism and advocates of capitalism that cause the trouble, though, as well as dumbasses reading these books, who get the wrong idea of what the authors meant. Marx's version of communism, for example, bears no resemblence to Stalinism, Leninism, or Maoism. Those 3 men read Marx, and got totally different ideas (not to mention were under circumstances that were not anticipated).David W.
