Capitalist Guilt

From Conservapedia

Capitalist guilt as conceived by Karl Marx is the notion that all profit is evil since it exploits workers, so Capitalists who reap profit from workers' labor are guilty of theft (see Labor theory of value). Marx used this notion as a key point in his argument that Capitalism was not merely flawed, but rotten at the core, and therefore needed not reform but complete overthrow. He reasoned hat society's economic relations would be much more fair under a "dictatorship of the proletariat", although experiments on a grand scale as in the USSR showed that the gap between rich and poor actually increases in Communist countries.
