Cuban vs. Jones - no, not the Sj.com Jones

Yes! Yes! Keep spreading the word.

In terms of NBA ticket prices, modern industry has established the world market, for which the discovery of America paved the way. This market has given an immense development to commerce, to navigation, to communication by land. This development has, in turn, reacted on the extension of industry; and in proportion as industry, commerce, navigation, railways extended, in the same proportion the bourgeoisie developed, increased its capital, and pushed into the background every class handed down from the Middle Ages.

Oh, and I vote for Mark Cuban, too.

 

You peabrains fail to note that most of the workers post-Marx takeover in Russia still had limited means of earning power and those who had all the privileges were party-bosses and their cronies.

Delude yourselves. Total. Morons.

 

Sez you. I'm planning to be a crony.

Can't wait.

 

You make a good point, Yawn. However, if you think about it, the bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his "natural superiors", and has left no other nexus between people than naked self-interest, than callous "cash payment". It has drowned out the most heavenly ecstacies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasm, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It has resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedoms, has set up that single, unconscionable freedom -- Free Trade. In one word, for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.
