relevant passage from Das Kapital

[–] Trudge@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Very good passage and it's relevant in the modern world again. Arguably even more so than it was during Marx's time in some respects.

It's more relevant now because we did not heed his words then.

It's truly incredible to see libs running around dismissing the relevance of Marxism in today's society. Despite its perceived "outdatedness", it continues to offer the most lucid explanation of what we see all around us. The ideas of class struggle, alienation, and economic determinism, are still applicable today because these are the invariants of a capitalist society. Marxism remains a crucial tool for understanding the dynamics of capitalism. Its relevance is undeniable as we continue to grapple with issues that are fundamentally rooted in economic structures and power relations.
