[Dishevelled Den]

the price is unbelievably volatile, and it is profiteering by oil companies (rather than the suppliers) but thats what happens in a free market controlled utterly by greed

..............and property ownership is theft  Karl Marx

I could never work this one out - theft from whom?

everyone 

Aah, that presupposes that everyone has the wherewithal, gumption or carries the responsibility necessary to own property beyond what would be considered to be the the basic necessities.

Of those who have no wish to own property - capital or otherwise - what of their plight, was it to be foisted upon them to satisfy this criterion of Marxism.

I suppose it's ironic that Marx’s teachings, rather like those of religious scholars, gained much in the telling after his death when they were picked up by disciples who fancied the message was the one to justify and bolster their cause.
