Karl marx is a symbol of the saner voice of common man

we remember Karl Marx today.When I was M phil student at gokhale institute Pune I wrote an essay on the devaluation of human being in a capitalist order..I will locate that and get it published in a marxian journal.It relied heavily on young karl marx's classic Masterpiece "economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844"..It was a soul sibling experience for me...

come to think of my own country there are many problem areas with regard to provision of health education transport water and housiing and more important restoring the heath of agricultural sector.Retreat of the govt from key areas and abdicating social responsibilites by the state with the slogan that private sector will step in and compensate  is indded a sad commentary of the victory of the neo liberal order.There must be" business where appropriate and government where necessary';
.all over the world we have govts attempting to cut the welfare spending and stifle the voice of labour and specularive capital has the elasticity and flexbility to move with wings and capture the fancy of investors.
we need Marx and keynes to lessen the intensity of the exploitative nature of unbridled capitalism  and arrogance of the establishment which ridicules the saner voice of the common man  pretending that it is for the poorest and the most disadvantaged...
