Greedy Capitalists Breathe New Life Into Marxism

Greedy Capitalists Breathe New Life Into Marxism

The world economic crisis brought on by greedy capitalists has given new life to Karl Marx’s and Mao Zedong's communist ideals.

Since last November, Marx's book "Das Kapital" has been selling about 4,000-5,000 copies each month nationwide in China. That’s a big jump from before the economic crisis, when the book sold well under 1,000 copies per month on average. Also, the "Selected Works by Mao Zedong," a book owned by almost every Chinese citizen a few decades ago, has witnessed a huge sales increase during this period.

The West's constant insistence that capitalism is the "right" way might now be falling on deaf ears...
