In 1953 the soviet military put down a worker's revolution in East Berlin. I don't think they noticed the irony.
I think you'll find those weren't workers, they were crypto-fascist saboteurs.

Marx was 100% right in his description of the problems of capitalism. But like 50% right in his prescriptions to fix them.

Smart financial professionals are not part of any political party of identity.

They simply exist in the current game we are playing. What the rules are doesn't matter, it's about making the money.

Is a crypto-fascist a fascist who's into cryptography, or a type of undead fascist? Would Himmler, risen from the grave to lead a foul army of the dead, be a crypto-fascist?

Yes, Marx was like a nagging housewife pointing out all of the obviously wrong stuff but in such a way that you just as soon see it stay wrong rather then see her get her way.

"there's clothes all over the floor"

you mean a tshirt and a pair of socks? in a 350 sq foot room? God forbid!

Framing your criticism of Marx as an annoying lady with opinions (and no real job :smug:) really helps illustrate the problems with a complex and terrible ideology, thank you for that

Marx didn't want to fix capitalism, he wanted it to collapse. He's not suggesting ways to keep it going.

There are ways to mitigate the problems with it and we've been using them. All of the "Oh, no, Socialist!!!!!" ideas we stuck in to keep it going aren't Marx, they're the reason Marx was wrong.
