This is basically a reboot of Marx&#x27;s 19th century ideas with a trendy fresh look.  In fact, he predicted this stage (which he called the &quot;dictatorship of the proletariat&quot;) in the evolution of &quot;Political Economy&quot; that will, in his mind, eventually lead inexorably to &quot;True Communism.&quot; [0]<p>His &quot;theory of alienation&quot;[1] pretty accurately describes the angst that motivates the &quot;workers&quot; to want to move away from the Capitalist system of production and explore ideas such as libcom.org.<p>For those with an interest, you should read <i>Das Kapital</i>...Marx was a true intellectual powerhouse and his chops were both deep and wide.<p>IMO, It all sounds very good in theory, but always seems to always fail during implementation, like a bad software project,<p>The history of attempts with Communism shows little in the way of success as far as providing &quot;the masses&quot; with an increased standard of living and overall happiness, so I&#x27;ll always be wary of such proposals.<p>Personally, I believe Sartre&#x27;s Existentialism better describes the human condition, although even he eventually adopted Marx. in lieu of Capitalism, which will, I believe, always be hated by the intellectuals.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nyu.edu&#x2F;projects&#x2F;ollman&#x2F;docs&#x2F;marxs_vision.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nyu.edu&#x2F;projects&#x2F;ollman&#x2F;docs&#x2F;marxs_vision.php</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation</a>
