For one thing, your attempt to hold in your head at the same time the empirical claims of Piketty with Marx's analytical claims about capitalism.

If you think you're a Marxist and find yourself comfortable with Piketty's lukewarm condemnation of "inequality" (which, I'll give him, follow directly from his empirical conclusions, so he's consistent on that front), you've misunderstood one or the other.
