Agreed. Understanding that all class dominated societies are based on the expolitation of those who produce helps too. It may have been easier, from our historical vantage point, to see how the product was separated from the producer in feudal societies; but then, the social relations of production and appropriation were obscured by a whole lot of relgious and traditions cultural mysticism regarding who was entitled to be wealthy. What Marx did in e.g. "Value,Price and Profit" was to demystify the festishism of commodities in a capitalist political-economy.
^^^^^ CB: And I agree with you.
Unfortunately, today, in the US and perhaps in your country, many workers are buying into a whole set of old and new ideas - anti-communism, individual responsibility for poverty, welfare "cheats", racism, national chauvinism, commodity fetishism - that prevent the formation of working class and socialist consciousness.
