Karl Marx inspired genocides. He and his should be stacked in Hell for cordwood therefore. As for understanding labor, profit, and capitalism properly done, you'd do better to start with Henry Hazlitt and Adam Smith and then scour the libertarian reading library. Remember that Marx posited a "Labor Theory of Value" which does not model value at all, but models cost of production. Taking Marx seriously means you cannot understand economic theory, and without understanding of economics, disaster and poverty both follow. Horrible.

And many historians of religion would tell you that the solstice is indeed the root of most Northern Hemispherical religions. The SUN and The SON are very similar in meaning.

You wouldn't see that much similarity of root-words anywhere except in the Germanic languages -- definitely nowhere in the Romance languages. Even the Russian, and likely the other Slavic languages, which are all pretty close to each other, whose words for son and sun do both start with an S, diverge quite a lot after the initial letter; an S then a vowel is about as near as they stay bound.
