I would never have fallen for that shit equivocation. Not wanting to supply a service to someone by your own free will, is not the same as the state having LAWS that says you cannot serve specific people even if you wanted to.

I can't believe Peterson fell for that shit.

Well first of all, Marx took the worst aspects of Hegel, and tried to justify them using materialism instead. Historicism is retarded, and is practically just temporal arrogance.

Secondly, Marx did not predict social-democracy/welfarist/unionist capitalism, which is essentially a corporatist compromise between the state, worker and capitalist, and has produced countries like the Nordics, which are way richer and more egalitarian than he could've ever known in his life.

That said, his sociological analysis of capitalism is quite interesting, and way more useful than his purely economic writings. Especially concepts like alienation.

>You could also join the big boy club and fork out 300 bucks for the Red Book.

Because Marx is a materialist(Both historical *and* philosophical), and materialism is unfalsifiable nonsense.

Protip for everyone trying to survive in the real world:

The moment you start living for yourself, is the moment that people stop caring about you, because people only like you if they can get something from you, hence why STEM fags hate liberal arts because you won't be their wage slave, and hence why your parents think you're worthless because you didn't become an electrician or a computer scientist, because it means they get less money.

I hope you enjoyed my lesson of life.
