"Workers of the World, Unite." But why workers? Why not the landowning class or everyone together from all classes or everyone who has green eyes, for that matter? And why must it be the entire world? Why not just the Germans or just the protestants or just the manufacturing sector? Finally, why must they unite? What will happen when they do? Why aren't they already united? What will bring about this unity? Dr. John McClain, professor in UNC-Asheville's humanities department, will offer his own well-honed perspectives on Marx's famous maxim.
