“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” This was written by Marx, I guess, in 1870th, who lived exactly that way and was all his life supported by a rich capitalist called Friedrich Engels. Do the Wall Street protester dream of a new Engels? Aren’t Soros and meals for freeloaders not good enough for them? In 1948 Marx and Engels wrote in Communist Manifesto – “Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains”. If capitalism goes down, all these protesters will lose all the perks they get from it and will truly become starving proletarians of 21 century.
