Rich Rosen asks if anyone really beleives that men are organized to keep down
women and big business is organized to control the world.

The point is that they don't have to be organized.  If people merely
TEND to act in a certain manner, they aggregate result will be tending
in that certain manner, no central organization is required.

Marx argued that the capitalist economy naturally devided into 2
classes.  The capitalists (who owned the means of production) and the
workers (who had to sell their labor to survive).  His claim was that
each person ACTING IN HIS OWN INDIVUAL INTEREST would tend to make the
society more polarized economically by ecoomic forces which tended to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer.  No collusion was postulated.
