Please, I’m begging you NJR, read Capital.
There are entire chapters dedicated to describing the impoverished living conditions of people in 19th century industrialised Britain.
Even when Marx discusses the economics of the matter, he likening the capitalists to tanners and vampires, and capital to zombies. He hardly goes a page without injecting moral judgement.
Dude’s also just gonna pretend that Marx didn’t write a fucking moral critique like his precursors before he wrote capital lmao. It entirely makes up his early writing and is pretty fucking present throughout the whole thing.
I also don’t understand why he’s just gonna pretend psychoanalysis never happened. Questions like ‘why do people often fight for their own oppression’ seems like a good place to start.
Like this guy is just gonna do a speedrun of the last 400 years. “People don’t listen to my poetic ‘capitalism bad’ proselytizing, so here’s a mechanical critique. What’s that? The proletariat, despite it’s possible dominance over the bourgeoisie, still toil in oppressive and menial labor? Huh, well why do people invest in systems that don’t benefit them? Okay, here’s my critique of ideology.”
