Marx is not a leftist. Proudhon and Bernie Sanders are leftist.

>>14372139
Also, approaching Marx as a side in imaginary debate and not on his own terms is a great recipe for failing to understanding him.
>I always wondered how a commuism (No nomenklautura/no party membership book parasites/Champagne socialists) done right country would compare to a full blown Adam Smith type of free market economy country
Compare under what criteria? There's no "communism done right country" because communism "done at all" can't possibly be limited to a country.

There's no buying, inflation, and unemployment under communism.
And "infrastructure" is not a criterion. It's just a thing you're going to be a comparing, under who knows what criterion.

Straight up read the microeconomics one. It's very well explained, repeats its point many times and only uses the math you actually need

No, grouping people who stayed firmly within the realm of the post-enlightenment bourgeois liberalism with Marx who represents the rejection of that is utterly retarded. You're not a leftist if you're not committed to things like egalitarianism and social justice (in the broad sense). Marx isn't. He's committed to the materialist understanding of history which reveals those as products of the ideology of current society.
