I actually read a great takedown of this earlier today.

Jewish IQ and urban proximity is enough to explain their over representation in intellectual movements. And the fact that they are over represented in intellectuals in general, not just of a certain ideological persuasion, is enough to make his alternate explanation that it's because of a group evolutionary strategy to weaken Western society to protect against Antisemitism look ridiculous.

Karl Marx's writing writ large. Probably worth starting with secondary literature though, it can be rather dense at first.

He got a lot of things wrong of course, particularly the historicist aspect of his theory, but his account of the contradictions of Capitalism, the economic system that rules us now to an even greater degree, remains basically true.

Funnily enough, a Jewish gay man, Marcel Proust, might be of assistance to you poor lost sad laddie.

Fascinating.

What would be the modern defence of his historicism? Karl Popper's essay, "The Poverty of Historicism" is a good criticism.

But really, can't we just look at the fall of the Soviet Union and the clear domination of Capitalism. Communism is nowhere in sight, and the regression of civilization through environmental change or nuclear warfare seems more likely at this point.
