I know, right?

He used a dumbed-down, over simplified model of society to create over-simplified "solutions" which, while I am sure that he meant well, just make things worse.

I am not trolling when I say that Marx' main prob was that he had never had to work for a living. He had no real, visceral feeling for the way working people think and feel. He was an outsider, looking in, with little thought-projections inside his head about what "the workers" MUST be feeling.

We all go through this as kids watching adults at work, maybe listening to the grown-ups belly-ache about it so that we think we have some grasp of their lived experience...

But we never really UNDERSTAND until we, too, experience what it is to work with others, whether that labour be mental or physical. Marx never learned that, never gained that aspect of mature experience.

Thus a certain inherent childishness in Marxism, and its adherents.
