Karl Marx told two big lies:
1. He called the natural economic system (which is free and efficient) as 'capitalism' - to make it look unnatural.2. He proposed a government-controlled economic system (which is unnatural and inefficient) called 'socialism' - and said it is better than 'capitalism'.
Today the whole world's economic debate/discussion is about Marx's second lie - ie, which economic system is better: 'capitalism' or 'socialism'? Half the people say 'capitalism' is better, and half the people say 'socialism' is better.
But there is zero debate/discussion in the world about Marx's first lie. Very few people realise that the so-called 'capitalism' is nothing but the natural economic system. Funnily, this includes even the people who support it (because it is efficient).
Karl Marx thus succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. In fact, his ghost is laughing even today . . .
PS: Capitalism is the natural economic system. So capitalism the system came first - and capitalism the word/idea came later. Socialism is the unnatural economic system. So socialism the word/idea came first - and socialism the system came later . . .
