Most of marx's predictions have failed to materialize, and his labor theory of value and other ideas have been proven wrong. marx failed to recognize the incentive system built into the capitalist model - consumer choice and the profit motive of the entrepreneur. the irony is that capitalism, not socialism or marxism, that has liberated the worker from the chains of poverty, monopoly, war, and oppression, and has better achieved marx's vision of a millennium of hope, peace, abundance, leisure, and aesthetic expression for the 'full' human being.

The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of marx and freud. marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. both worked for the liberation of man, even though marx's concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than freud's.

A crackpot theory. instead of saying labor's exploited, as marx did, kelso says capital's exploited. it's worse than marx. it's marx stood on its head.

Who is affected more when it's cold? poor people. who is affected more when it's hot? poor people. who is affected more when it's wet? poor people. who is most affected when the economy is bad? poor people. poor people are the most fragile.

The moralist and the revolutionary are constantly undermining one another. marx exploded a hundred tons of dynamite beneath the moralist position, and we are still living in the echo of that tremendous crash. but already, somewhere or other, the sappers are at work and fresh dynamite is being tamped in place to blow marx at the moon. then marx, or somebody like him, will come back with yet more dynamite, and so the process continues, to an end we cannot foresee.

I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.
