Did America invent Marxism?

Disagree. Mercantilism is old, Capitalism is not.

Yes it is. It is the production of those goods and services the merchants would sell.
It's been around as long as recorded history, even before money itself.

I'm not saying I with everything he wrote. Marx and Brownson were asking the right questions, but I don't think they had the right answers.

Ok fair enough. I might disagree that the questions were right. I think there is a tendency for people to see something they believe is unfair and to attribute it to a power imbalance which they perceive as being the cause. It's like seeing a fence and perceiving it as being restrictive. It's s taken down without any consideration for why it was put up in the first place. By then it may too late to learn why it was put up.

Which one?
