"The state is not “abolished,” it withers away" - Friedrich Engels
Of Capitalism hurting the economically weak by Pope Francis
“Once capital becomes an idol and
guides people’s decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire
socio-economic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and
women, it sets people against one another and, as we clearly see, it even puts
at risk our common home.”Pope Francis at Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
The economic system “has imposed
the mentality of profit at any price, with no concern for social exclusion or
the destruction of nature” ... “corporations, loan agencies, certain ’free
trade’ treaties, and the imposition of measures of ’austerity’ which always
tighten the belt of workers and the poor.”
Of the lender's views expressed by Angela Merkel on Greece :
"The most important currency has been lost and that is trust,...That means that we will have tough discussions and there will be no agreement at any price."
