Karl Marx was wrong about many things. Primarily he was wrong in his belief that socialism would dig the grave of capitalism. Instead the grave of capitalism will also be the grave of humankind. Our epitaph will read, “We could not find a profit motive for caring for our sick, which eventually brought on the plague. We could not find a profit motive for peace, which brought on the great war. We could not find a profit motive for saving our planet, and so we here bequeath it to rats and cockroaches.”
