marxism, while initially presenting itself as a liberating force against the oppressive structures of capitalism, ultimately falls victim to its own internal contradictions and dialectical tensions. The dialectical materialist analysis, while insightful in uncovering the historical development of class struggle and the inherent contradictions within capitalist production relations, fails to adequately address the complexities of human nature (and dont you fuckers come with the meme) and the multifaceted dynamics of social change.
your teleological understanding of history, grounded in the deterministic progression towards communism, overlooks the contingent nature of historical events and the agency of individuals (no matter what class) in shaping societal outcomes. moreover, the emphasis on economic determinism tends to reduce all social phenomena to mere reflections of the underlying economic base, neglecting the significance of cultural, ideological, and political factors in shaping social relations.
additionally, the marxist conception of the state as a mere instrument of class domination oversimplifies the intricate power dynamics within society, ignoring the potential for bureaucratic, technocratic, and otherwise oppressive tendencies to emerge within ostensibly socialist regimes. The failure of numerous marxist-inspired revolutions to achieve lasting social transformation (just look how bigoted post-soviet nations tend to be) underscores the limitations of a purely structural analysis divorced from considerations of human agency and political strategy.
furthermore, the marxist critique of capitalism often overlooks the innovations in productivity, technology, and living standards that capitalism has brought about, albeit unevenly distributed among different social classes. while exploitation and alienation are indeed inherent features of capitalist production, the wholesale rejection of capitalist institutions risks overlooking the potential for transformative reforms and incremental improvements within the existing system, something that has worked in the past, like in south korea post 1988.

>>1771692Capitalism exists insofar as value can be extracted from labor. If all labor is automated capitalism can't exist. It all becomes pure capital. Then all your left with is socialism and the arrangement of said socialist government. That's my take.

It's better than watching online leftists talk about what animal they'd fuck, I swear. Every single thing you said is not just accounted for, but makes the revolution and socialist construction possible in the first place.
