People on this very site act like Marx was this infallible god who was never wrong too lol, shit’s ridiculous. Marx would be an unlikeable asshole if I brought him into modern times, as would literally every European guy born in the years spanning 1500-1920
(before you ask no, your medieval peasant ancestors were fine. You wanna not be depressed? Imagine showing them the life you live right now they’d probably think it’s cool as fuck)

Medieval peasants worked fewer hours than you and had more holidays and vacation than you.

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.
Julius Caesar woukd be way more fun to chill with than marx, prove me wrong
