[lbo-talk] "Ruling Class" as Agent?????

[Carrol Cox]

Matthias Wasser: But it's been really
fascinating to see the public discourse among the political class, which has
framed the question explicitly in terms of what's necessary to "save
capitalism."

But they identify "capitalism" with the particular interests and activities
of business in a particular nation at a particular time.

I doubt any of them has put it this way: What can we do to save the Wages
system?

To abolish capitalism (to stand on its grave till we're sure it is dead) the
working class must abolish itself. One can abolish one particular capitalist
class after another, but capitalISM will survive as long as labor power is
exchanged for wages.
