I came across a quote just now at the beginning of chapter 29 that I found pretty interesting. McLeod is in the middle of his speech to Hollingsworth when he says:
"Our problem is not to end exploitation but to resolve contradictions in the economic structure. Indeed, we may have been wrong all the time, and the bourgeoisie have been wright. Man is only capable of founding societies based on privilege and inequality."
I am wondering if this is true, because it seems that this continues to be the case, even now. I'm not saying that I agree with it, but I can't think of an example where this hasn't been the case. The more we try to "resolve the contradictions in the economic structure" as McLeod says, the more divisive we seem to become. Any thoughts?
