“Capital comes dripping from head to toe, from every pore, with blood and dirt.” is attributed to whom?

Not as much blood as Marx's adherents: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others.

While not perfection, capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty and even to affluence on their own hard work.

Tom, Amen... redistributing all the wealth sure does cost a lot of lives. Mainly the poor.

That is a true statement. It persist till today. The rich takes from the poor.

The prioritizing of power and profits today negatively impacting the vast majority, and only benefiting the minority is criminal.

Tom, AGREED!

Never was someone so wrong in his ideology, as sound as it was in his mind, as Karl Marx.
