- ue_ 9y agoYour comment is a strange one, and I hear it a lot projected at Marxian-thinking people and economists too. In the case of Marx, he does not call inequality a bad thing, he says it is within the self-interest of the workers themselves to rise up against the system which produces the inequality; there is no moral judgment nor a decision on what is just - he states it as a fact from his research.
