>His writings were a rejection of metaphysical approaches to economics/politics for a historical approach based on the rational interest of participating groups/individuals... that really shines through on The German Ideology and The Poverty of Philosophy

Which is the biggest problem he runs into. The problem isn't his critiques of current society or capitalism. Alienation of labor is legit as fuck. The problem is where he starts and where he finishes.

His "historical" analysis is needed because otherwise Manifesto gets BTFO'd by modernism. It appeals emotionally and is easy for people to relate to but has too big of a logical gap.

>human history is always sucking (already a dubious claim)
>capitalism fails always (????)
>people suffer because of it

ALL WAY TO

>Capitalism is the biggest source of human suffering

ALL THE WAY TO

>Capitalism will end violently with industrialization.


There is no concrete logic to follow between these jumps. He relies on what is more or less anecdotal experiences of common people to make self fulfilling prophecies.
