Seriously tho, 99% of the criticisms that completely deny Marxism I have ever heard came from people whose arguments could simply have been answered by "maybe actually read Marx?"

It's very funny how often things people criticize marxism for not considering things that are actually extremely central to it. "Marx didn't account for automation".
I feel like 90 % of criticism of marxist economics I hear are directly answered in text in the first two chapters of capital. Something about Marx makes people with no knowledge talk about him with a confidence I can only dream of.
"marx didn't account for automation" has to be one of the clearest examples of not even considering the era in which he lived let alone reading his work.
