"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"

Not a bad idea that.

Yes, I know Marx adopted that quote from earlier thinkers. That is the nature of history and civilization: Neither "Ask not what your country can do for you ..." nor "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil ..." was created de novo by those who made the quotations famous.

Marxism fails in its theoretical explanation for the wealth of nations - not in its observations of the misery and exploitation of the workers of the time.

"Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."
