<\/a><\/p>\nWhen I was young, saying \u201cMarx\u201d in the dinner table was like declaring oneself left-winged and standing against the political values of the family. Not because my family preferred right-winged ideals, not at all, but because they \u2013the adults and bearers of truth<\/em>– were told Marx was bad\u2026 but, have they ever read him?<\/em>, of course not. It has always been said by the media, at school, or by our bosses at work, always from the upside down<\/em><\/strong>, that Marx was a synonym for barbarism, left-wing ideals and politic chaos\u2026<\/p>\n Luckily, our generation tends to listen to both sides of the story. At university, as happens to several of us, they give us Marx\u2019s material to read, they put it in context before making any opinion<\/em>. They explain him within a society immersed in work, totally dependent of the clockwork jobs the industrial revolution had to offer, a dehumanized society made on purpose in order to keep it under control. Those who have no capital to invest, the only thing they can invest (and sell in order to survive) is their work force. And so it is\u2026 the situation in which we are in.<\/p>\n Thus, one starts to read Marx and thinks\u2026 bollocks!\u2026 this guy was not that wrong at all.<\/em> (Watch it! there are certain extreme stances which one must absorb within the context mentioned above, which would be like understanding the anger at that point in time<\/em>)\u2026 But, what if that anger is still alive today but camouflaged? Aren\u2019t we still tied up to a system which forces us to sell ourselves in order to pay the bills?<\/p>\n In the 25 years I have lived in my country, I keep on seeing how the middle class shrinks, how the lower class keeps on getting wider and wider, and how the higher class perpetuates itself in time\u2026<\/p>\n
