In his book Das Kapital, Karl Marx wrote ominously in 1867:
A new Fox Dynamics Poll shows really how much trouble we currently have in America. Universal food? Should the government provide food for every person? In the FOX Poll, 68% say yes. Healthcare? 66% say yes. Housing? 52% say yes. A job, 51% say yes.
51% of Americans today say everybody who wants one should be provided a job. People haven't been taught why socialism is bad. We can no longer sit back, just go to work, and assume everything is going to be okay. America voted for "change." Contrary to what conservatives have been saying, the FOX Poll seems to indicate that the voters may very well have known exactly the type of change they wanted. Is there any doubt that Obama, Pelosi and Reid are going to attempt to deliver European-style socialism to America by the end of 2010?

Although this quote is already coming to pass here in America I have to say that I can only hope that the Media Journal did their research before posting this. I, having done my research, have become more doubtful that this is a true "Marx" quote.
Indeed. The attribution to Marx in 1867 imples that it was part of Capital, which he first published in that year, however a site search on http://marxists.org doesn't appear to turn up anything that would lend credence to this rumor.

In his book Das Kapital, Karl Marx wrote ominously in 1867:
"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to Communism."It helps to have willing accomplices in the White House and in Congress. Sadly, Marx's prediction is eerily wending its way through the American system.
