Capitalism and Marxism do not deny the market. . They both acknowledge human ingenuity and creativity for the market. A light bulb is a light bulb !

Who could deny the market and why? You buy low and sell hi. Everyone is a consumer and the extent of this truth is adjusted for the benefit of the socio-economic needs of each country or society. A penny saved is a penny saved and it is better to have little or plenty with thankfulness. Capitalism and Marxism do not deny the market. They both acknowledge human ingenuity and creativity for the purposes of the market. A light bulb is a light bulb ! Marxism did not deny consumers or the need for them but Leninism is quite different. Marxism has consumers while Leninism did not. Why is that? The cold war apartment blocks are filled with new workers for a new community that celebrates the reality of the market dynamic. Leninism is like trying to fly while ignoring the reality of gravity or boating without reflecting upon the ever present truth of water. Every economy is inevitably a market economy; whether you call it capitalist or marxist. Every economy is engaged in social engineering to reflect the needs of the social environment. Politics is the process by which a society decides how to make the "best deal" to satisfy the needs (life, liberty, health and property-Locke; Marx put it quite similarly) of society within an economy. Every country is an economy and is valued based on various factors and indicators such as its GDP and population growth or home growth. An unusual disease in the national brand oats that kills a wife's cheerleader feet in her Nine Wests or an acid that ages her gums may lead her to think her husband cheated. If she reads enough cosmo or watches soap operas, she won't hear him say that it was the cereal she bought for the family on sale. The resultant separation feeds home growth. Another household helps to add to the number of towel and cutlery sets sold and the number of toasters and microwaves. The other idea is to put a husband downer in the national coffee brand and then the wife decides he has to be cheating since he seems to be getting love elsewhere. Once he is a little husband down, is she supposed to feel rejected? It was just the coffee. She isn't rejected. It's family time.
