Tao Te Ching Is A Socialist
I was rereading the second poem in Tao Te Ching and there is a part of it that sounds like something Marx would have written if he were to write in that same style. The last few lines of the poem are "Lives but does not own, Acts but does not presume, Accomplishes without taking credit. When no credit is taken, Accomplishment endures." To me, it sounds like what Marx was hoping to accomplish by eliminating ownership of private property. Maybe there are even more similarities between all the books we had to read for CORE this semester than we realize.
