Excellent article, By the standards of the Obamaborg, of course, Marx was a Tory, as this quote attests.
The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation.
The Obamaborg, however, detests the middle class. By claiming to be “for the people” but keeping the power of representing the people to themselves, they are making a new aristocracy, which (as in the ancien regieme) has a fundamental preference for barbarism, and holds the middle class in contempt.
