On the subject of Marxism, if people stopped getting into debt a lot less money would be flowing to the top. Banks would have fewer profits and their power would shrink.

See, this is an example of getting so close and missing analysis that you could have just read.

If I put this in Marxist analytical terms then no one would understand it and no one would learn anything.

Most people don't understand calculus either, doesn't mean it isnt necessary for certain applications.

And marxist analysis is generally more useful to the average person.
