"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism".
Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867

Of course he omits the bit where the state creates the money that fuels the debt and passes laws that allow the banks to lend to people who can't repay it. Not to mention using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy the debt that fueled the boom.
phew, that's alright then.
Relax - that sounds nothing like Marx. The quote is almost certainly a hoax.
Well, if anyone would know, it would be Danyl.
Well, the idea that Marx or anyone else in the mid-19th Century was imagining the working class getting in trouble through buying expensive houses and being offered far too much credit (hell, any kind of loan!) from banks is a bit far-fetched. It's also far too easily readable to be from Das Kapital.

Marx was so wrong about so many other things, I wouldn't take him seriously on this one either. Relax.
Time for the ultimate Marxists, the Groucho-Marxists to make a comeback. YIPPEE! (Not)
I'm not sure what's going to be bankrupt first.
The banks or the government funding them.
