    Marx would be an unlikeable asshole if I brought him into modern times

    This is not an argument but a child's vision of morality. Pretty sure modern humans will be absolutely despised hated for the next few hundreds if not thousands of years given how we are likely going to destroy the planet as we know it today(certainly the planet as it was 100 years ago is long gone now) and yet we fail to create a better world for ourselves despite near omnipotent technological capabilities. All our problems are political and social, technologically we could have (near)post-scarcity probably since the late 80s already, certainly by now.

    Whether [insert generic historic figure here] would be up to our moral standards today or not is about as relevant as asking if vanilla ice cream always tasted like vanilla ice cream.
