/lit/ - Literature

The entirety of political philosophy is built on a fallacy: that there is a system that actually "works", that all we need to do is find it. You can forgive Plato, Rousseau and Locke for being naive, but it's weird that contemporary authors are still writing speculative theories on the "perfect" political ideology while ignoring everything we know about human behaviour.

The truth is, all political systems fail when you're working with humans, their differences and their flaws. People have fundamentally different views which cannot be reconciled. So fucking tired of "new versions" of Marxism or Capitalism which aim to solve this or that. Fuck off.

Are there any political works that actually incorporate reality in their theories?

OP here. I just know this thread will be a fucking waste of time. Let me just predict the rest of the responses from you drooling retards.

>u dident read it!!!
>u dident understand it!!!
>that werent communism!!
>le dum post is wrong

None of you can respond to the simple argument that liberal democracies of Northern Europe solve the major issues stated by Marx in his critique of capitalism while retaining a functioning, sustainable economic system. No, you morons want extremes, because your brains are too small to understand compromise.
