    Okay then I will go read the wealth of nations

    But the mean rapacity, the monopolizing spirit of merchants and manufacturers, who neither are, nor ought to be, the rulers of mankind

    Am I supposed to be supporting capitalism yet?

      Do they forget that Das Capital is just a response to Wealth of Nations using it’s discoveries about the operations of capital and imperialism to form a contrast with Marx and Engels findings about the operations of labor and the colonized? I really don’t think any of these morons have read, or even skimmed either book.
