The Marxist/Progressive Concept of Fair
We know the numbers of people relying on government is growing at a rapid pace. An example of this is the Food Stamp Program which has grown to 48 million recipients. As reported earlier, this is no longer a food stamp program but a credit card program which can be used for almost anything. This is how Marx had envisioned society. The economic formula Marxism professes is C = M = C. The first C represents the commodities produced by a worker. Marx recognized some workers were capable of producing at higher levels and they would have a greater first C than others. The second C represents the commodities that were needed by each worker to fulfill his needs. These needs would vary depending on factors such as number of dependents. The greater the number of dependents, the greater is the second C. M represents the money or medium of exchange each worker would receive. In the Marxist state and that advocated by the Marxist/Progressive party, the value of M is based on the second C or needs as opposed to production. That is why Marx said, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” And this is what the Marxist/Progressives, led by Obama, mean when they say “fair”.
