The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalised, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism'.

    Karl Marx, Das Kapital, 1867
    Nice one but I don't believe it.
    1. just too good.
    2. "working class buy expensive technology"? in 1867? I doubt if the word existed then.
