Marx was responding to the conditions of capitalism of his time, which were inarguably much worse. His ideas were an extreme counter point example that would have evolved naturally, meaning all the people looking to force his ideas into being actually oppose him. He didn’t give a lot of detail about how his utopian society would actually function in the real world, he was provided a sharp contrast to horrific practices of his time.

If AI is used for the good of society command economics will work a charme.
The Lobby groups will (try to) ensure that the electorate has no say in that matter.
