I have no moral objections to capitalism. That is absurd, since the only "morality" available is cvapitalist morality. Marx does not 'oppose' capitalism ideologically; but Rousseau does. For Marx, it is history; for Rousseau, it is evil." Moralism always ends up with bourgeois demands for equality rather than Marxist demands for freedom.
