No Red, it is not the 19th century anymore. I'm not perverting any words, you're perverting mine. Capitalism has 4 different meanings today and your interpretation of Marx is not one of them. The unadulterated definition of Capitalism is the Private Ownership of the Means of Production and Distribution. Means cannot include slavery, because ownership does not apply to human beings.

In order to have Capitalism, the Worker must own himself.

When Karl Marx wrote his book and manifesto, he was not numero uno compadre! A few years after he died, people in our government began passing the 10 planks of Marx's Manifesto. Now you want to raise the bar and say it wasn't enough? As long as someone has more than you, it's not enough? Well guess what...someone will always have more than you. That's life. Get used to it.

There's nothing in Marxism which can possibly remove class distinction from the face of humanity.

You don't work...what are you...16? Oh well no fucking wonder you think you can own the world. Okay, I'm going back to talking with adults.
