Is it twisting into knots to acknowledge that Marx was a human, and not a wizard? Marx wasn’t a prophet, but he was a damn good analyst and predicted tons of things correctly, such as his analysis of Capitalism. You would have a point if issues like rising disparity, rampant consumerism infecting every inch of people’s lives, stagnating wages with respect to productivity, and more happen to prove him exactly correct.
Again, you haven’t read Marx. You just take the intellectual high road and dodge when confronted.
See, that’s what I mean. You treat The Revolution as an inevitability, then twist yourself into knots to justify why it hasn’t happened yet.
