In 2007, an economic crisis immobilized America and spread quickly across the world.
Millions lost their homes and jobs
To save the international financial system, the government released millions of dollars
triggering a wave of indignation.
We begin to ask ourselves, perhaps it wasn't the economy, but rather Capitalism itself which was the cause.
We're bankrupt, that we know
But at the same time, we don't want to believe that everything can fall apart.
Is Capitalism in the process of self-destructing and taking with it the Planet's riches?
It's completely idiotic
Capitalism doesn't destroy riches, it creates it.
Karl Marx and the criticism of Capitalism is coming back with great force today.
In Berlin, the old thinkers have been rejuvinated
Adapting "Capital" on the spot
it's a crazy idea
The success of this spectacle is very surprising
and even totally unexpected
The riches of the capitalist society
come
from a gigantic accumulation of merchandise
Marx, he could help us out a lot
But how can the Marxist criticism help us understand
these baffling times after the crisis
The question is knowing what
Where does this infatuation with everything Marx touches come from?
Did we not think that he would die-out with the fall of the wall,
20 years ago?
What we've definetly pushed to the side
is the idea of a revolutionary dictator of the proletariat.
Have we been living in a dream?
And if our capitalist world was, in reality, an ideological illusion
which should be replaced by this communism
which we've thought was indeed buried.
