The Bourgeois are anti-elite. The Marxist view on "Means of Production" ignores what is being produced. The Marxists were naive enough, in an almost charming 19th century way, to believe that what was produced by society came from some sort of absolute, scientific process. It is bourgeois customs and norms that decide what gets produced.

Have you read Capital?

I've read The Communist Manifesto. I liked it because it was short.

This is a 19th Century reconstruction of what an Iguanodon looked like, based on the initial finds and the scientific knowledge they had at the time. I mean, its nice that they went to all that trouble, but it doesn't mean I have to believe that is what an Iguanodon looked like!

Okay, so you haven't read Capital. What sources have you read that equips you to make the proclamation that you "don't even find "Marxism" worthy of critique"?
