That is the Pure Marxist arrogation : Brains and judgement are valueless . So valueless that WE WHO ARE SOO MUCH MORE MORAL must take over those activities , by FORCE , in the name of the STATE , ( Which ends up having a name , with gigantic portraits everywhere , like Stalin or Mao or Castro or Pot or Kim ) The bureaucracy swells ; the production plummets . People stand in line for the permission to get the approval to stand in line for toilet paper to stand in line to get the approval to wipe their ass . But it's necessary because the people who succeed in the markets of choice get their by doing nothing but being evil . Marx's crap was DISPROVED , paragraph by paragraph by Eugen Von Bohm-Bawerk in 1896 in his "Unresolved Contradictions in the Marxian Economic System" . And , of course since then we have had a century of it's abject failure and horrors caused in the real world . I take it you are a Lawyer . Doesn't that mean you yourself are a valueless paper shuffler ?
