One of these days I am going to have to read Das Kapital -- I am told that it is actually rather good in spots. It may well be that Marx would have not recognized totalitarian communism as the result of his theories, I can't honestly say.

I do think it's interesting, historically, that after the French revolution, free market capitalists sat in the left wing of the French assembly, along with those who believed in democracy and other revolutionaries.

Thus, democracy and free market capitalism were originally left wing ideas.

But, sadly, the world has changed.
