The largest victim group in the US right now is straight white men.

Not even close. More like when will the endless victimhood of the blue haired, nose pierced, Laquandas ever end.

Whatever points he may have made about rents being too high was lost on the idea that humans would solve their problems by having their lives directed by an enlightened state.


Marx was not a statist per se. The state was supposed to be a transitional phase to an ultimate end goal of power devolving to the proletariat, who would govern through mutual cooperation and ownership of the means of production.

He never fleshed out how this was supposed to work-he was a theoretician, after all-and it's been proven to the satisfaction of most that human nature doesn't work that way. But while he was anticapitalist, Soviet style central planning was not what he had in mind either.

No socialist has ever fleshed out how it actually works because it doesn't. As you say, it's just not human nature to act like humans are supposed to act in a socialist system let alone the utopia of Communism

It's not just humans, it's animals. They will steal from other "families," packs, etc., to feed their own direct offspring.

Marx was astute at looking at things during his time but mostly he was off on history and human nature


Marx vastly underestimated the contempt that hard-working industrious people have for lazy sonsofbitches, and that contempt is understandable.

This is one of the primary reasons why truly socialist nation-states never work out and never will.
