Tom Becker reads Why the US Press is Afraid of Marx (and Jeremy Corbyn)
Tom Becker reads from Why the US Press is Afraid of Marx (and Jeremy Corbyn) by Conor Lynch in Counterpunch.
In Marx’s analysis, widespread inequality and economic instability (and to a lesser degree environmental degradation) are inherent in the capitalist system, and they will eventually result in its collapse.
The problems of capitalism that he wrote so extensively about have returned, and capital is stronger than before. It seems that radical ideas are needed today more than ever, and admiring an intellectual who diagnosed the contradictions of capitalism better than anyone else is not a burden, but an advantage.
