Marxism Unmasked from Delusion to Destruction.pdf 7471KB

impoverishment of the workers. Marx didn't see that the most important
characteristic of capitalism was large-scale production for the needs of the

capacity as a wage earner, the wxjrker cannot determme what is to be
made. But in his capadrv- as a customer, he is iralK' the boo and teDs his
boss, the entrepreneur, what to do. His boss must obev' the orders of the
workers as they are members of the buNing pubbc. Mrs-Vlebb\ like ocher

everybody. She didn't see that he was subject to the sovrmgncy of the
orders of the customers on the market. The "great" Mrs. Webb was no
