A marxist flaw...

Karl Marx tried to advocate the idea that capitalists would enslave the masses by colluding to pay slave wages to everyone.

The flaw in that argument, of course, is that in order to stave off the inevitable tendency of liberty yielding to tyranny, the consumers and employees must be as aggressive in the marketplace as are the producers and the employers. The balance of power will be established between a smaller number of wealthy and powerful men pushing against a large number of individually weaker men. Each side must continue to push for freedom to sustain.

When the employees and consumers stop pushing, they are overrun by expensive lawyers, advertisers, propogandists and lobbyists. Finding themselves backed into a corner, the employees and consumers will turn to government, thus is born the "democracy", or mob rule. The majority ignorantly pushes back at the producers and employers through various Marxist policies, such as "free" medical care, education, price floors or ceilings, minimum wage laws, and "overtime" rules among others.

Being ignorant to the laws of economics, the employee and consumer widens and deepens his own demise, as the producers and employers invariably end up elected to the government, and thus are put in the position of pretending to legislate wealth and power away from themselves and into the hands of the powerless. Such a fanciful event has never once happened so far as I am aware!
