Poor Marx; he was wrong about everything

[Anonymous No.13945799]

>From the failed 1848 revolutions until the 1860's Marx thought an industrial crisis would cause a revolution in France
The revolution and the crisis never occurred and Marx was subjected to ridicule by his peers.
>Marx thought the recession in 1857 would lead to a revolution
It never did.
>Engels thought a crisis would lead a revolution in England by 1886
A revolution never happened and the economy in Britain recovered by 1888.
>Marx thought Capitalism had the long run tendency to keep real wages at a subsistence level
In reality, real wages have gone up in the long run.
>Marx thought workers' plight would lead to Communism
In reality, modern day plight of workers has not led to a renewed interest in Communism.
>Marx thought Capitalism had the long-run tendency to decrease the rate of profit
In reality, the rate of profit has not decreased.

His philosophy was meant to be a science so it's ok if he got a few things wrong because that only helps the system iron out the ruts. Start with Hegel

the rate of profit does fall though, ever heard of a recession? Capitalism simply restarts itself by force.

I think it was Mercia eliade, I'm not sure, who said that Marxism acts as an eschatology similar to religion in people's minds.
