Command-style economies not only don’t work they also drastically limit individual freedom.
Every Western country to is a mix of capitalism and socialism. The US is much closer to the capitalism side and that needs to change. Canada and Europe have things like universal healthcare while still be capitalist countries. The best economic system we can implement in reality is a heavily regulated capitalism with a robust safety net.
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.
90% of “Marxists” today are childish edgelords with zero understanding of man behind their label.
100 %, absolutely true! Ironically only marxists have a thorough understanding of capitalism among the working people of the world.
