Like most other great thinkers, he suffers from telling people what they dont want to know.

First they'll be like "wow, you're so smart." "Look at them there, with all those brains." Then, as soon as you say something clever that challenges the stranglehold the rich have over the world, they're like "eh, what do you know anyway, poindexter?"

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evil.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion.
