Ahh, Marx. Probably the first adherent of word salad. It baffles me to this day how such a shitty scholar could have ever rose to prominence, besides with the aid of the devil.
Of course, looking through that paragraph we see the devil in abundance. A state of never ending agitating and self inflicted unrest, all from a perverse and wicked desire to make the possessions of others their own.
Being and non-being are the same, therefore it is the same whether this house is or is not, whether these hundred dollars are part of my fortune or not.
Damnation I lost an enormous reply, fuckin mobile piece of shit. I'll summarize.
Marx's analysis of capitalism is highly flawed and intellectually dubious for several reasons, some of which I will elaborate on.
Firstly that his theories are predicated on the labor theory of value, which had been debunked a century prior. Labor inherently has no value unless it is desired, warranted, and has a beneficial outcome.
Secondly that he misconstrued the concept of capitalism, conflating it with greed and covetousness in order to argue against what capitalism really is. In essence he strawmanned it. Capitalism in reality means nothing more than the free exchange of goods and services. Something that is a fact of human existence and is in a literal sense harmless. One man trading a horse to another man in exchange for wheat doesn't effect you in the slightest. To bypass that truth, Marx relied on an externality theory, the idea that any and everything other people do somehow effects you, and therefore justify laying collective claim to not only the possessions of others, but to those other people themselves. Externality theory is really where the lies of his philosophy evolve into tyranny, because it allows the adherent to reach out and declare that so long as anyone else exists who is allowed not to bow to the ephemeral collective good(which as a reminder is entirely based on the jealousy and covetousness of the Marxists themselves), then somehow theft is occurring.
I've never read the author you quoted, but it seems myopic. The idea that the modern time is a period of unparalleled greed or excess of the self styled elites flies in the face of history.
If Marxists had common sense they wouldn't be Marxists. The ideology requires you to abandon coherent thought.
And it’s sad that so many young people fall for it

Truly, a disciple of hell.
That would be Hegel:
