I am a big time capitalist and hate bolshies who want to force it now, but think Marx will eventually be proven right. Just not for another 500 years.

Eventually automation and AI will make the kind of advances he predicted and eliminate scarcity. But we also would need to have the rest of the world fully developed so that populations don't increase to perpetuate scarcity.

Capitalism is the best force atm/won the cold war because of its ability to advance technological development via incentives and patents.

It makes more sense as a true Marxist to give society the time to develop along the lines he predicted in his youth, than to be a bolshy and force it down peoples throats while scarcity still exists, making capital necessary.

Trying to force hunter gatherers into a rock market would have been just as disastrous as it is currently to try to force us into gommunism
