Technology does put people out of work. However, people have this knack for figuring out new types of work. The destruction of jobs has been one of the great. I'm sure happy that we don't need 90% of the population to be farmers anymore. I don't think Steve Jobs would have made a very good farmer, but he was pretty good with electronics.

I don't care about Marx's intent. I care that a logical fallacy was presented as not only a reason to support an economic system but as a law. If you knew both of these laws to be untrue then don't post them and certainly don't present them as laws.

I didn't post them as laws. I was agreeing with you on the absurdity of those supposed economic laws. Marx has been so thoroughly discredited that it's shocking anyone still believes his ideas.
