Ok but Marx is a disproven hack, whose only claim to fame is indirectly starving millions of people. Not sure his ideas deserve any more air than they have already been given. Time to move on.

There’s communism the theoretical idea and “communism” the application.

The twentieth century was neither, but just authoritarianism wearing a trench-coat.

This point could be made on every ideology.. Capitalism in essence is pretty gruesome too. The enlightenment, american and french revolutions and the labor movement was stuff that moved the pin in the right direction.

Marx builds on Smith. Would you agree then that Adam Smith is disproven even more and responsible for far more starvation? That would be ridiculous.

What part of Marx's work do you think has been disproven?
