    He is not taking a Marxist position. Possibly agreeing with parts of the same analysis as Marx but definitely not the same prescription. Not every criticism of Capitalism is an endorsement of Marxism

      He is not taking a Marxist position

      Precisely that’s why it’s taken him 80 years longer than Marxists to reach that conclusion.

      Not every criticism of Capitalism is an endorsement of Marxism

      Which is why non-marxist anti-capitalist movements such as Salvador Allende’s socialism in Chile, or Mosaddegh’s Iran, inevitably fail within a few years due to the lack of understanding of class struggle and the history of capitalism.

        I take it you have a Marxist state as a counter example showing it’s superiority and longevity?

            The question was superiority and longevity. Are you claiming those are both superior states as well?

              The USSR and Cuba are much more desirable than the short-lived wannabe socialist regime that led to Pinochet’s dictatorship, yes, how do you not see this?
