You're right, Pancho, Marx provided an analysis of the Capitalist game, how it works and what it does. He diagnosed the cancer and his students (Lenin, Che) tried to excise the malignant tumor.

I remember some years back I met a girl, who happend to be a two-bit hustler, who was trying to engage me in lending her a grand and putting up a grand myself, so that each one of us would make something like 5 thousand dollars. 'Just like that?' I asked her. "Just like that, BUT," she responded and began to explain that I would lend her a grand, then she would bring me in with another grand plus five other fools with a thousand each and so on.. A bloody pyramid scheme, and that's all this is, which today we call "Ponzi", I guess. I told her I'm going out for a smoke to think about it and left her at the McDonalds on Haight in SF and ran across the street and hid in the park.

Chomsky put it simply by explaining that in a democracy only a few hold all the power and wealth while the rest of us are spectators who through public relations and the media are controlled, what Walter Lippmann called "the manufacturing of consent", how public opinion is shaped, how the majority ends up voting against their own interests, how they willingly accept bondage. I also agree that the first step is to boycott the whole damn thing.. Stop buying all the unecessary gadgets and bullshit. The worst thing one can do to a drug dealer is to stop buying his dope. Grow your own shit.
