What I like about this article is it subverts Marx's ideas of capital and markets and how the proletariat are being exploited/alienated/dehumanized to enrich a capitalist and if they'd only wake up to this fact they'd do a people's revolution. But, Marx assumes people are stupid. They aren't. They realize that free markets, as noted by Locke in the article, create abundance for everyone. An acre of land becomes 100 acres when an ambitious person owns it and works it. We all do better when we allow the exceptional people in society to do their thing which betters themselves and then everyone else. That envy at their success expressed through confiscation and redistribution is counter productive. History is created by the heroic and it is why we build monuments to them.
