    The fact that you are naive enough to believe that the study of economics can be divorced from ‘ideology’ is why nobody is taking anything you say seriously. You so clearly have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and yet you are so confident in your answers that it doesn’t really seem worth it to most people here to explain it in painstaking detail, since you clearly have done no actual research yourself before spewing your opinions online.

    When Marx was writing, economics, or at the time as it was called, the study of political-economy, was not about specifically getting ROI’s, a.practice at which even modern ‘economics’ is shaky at with the best of times (given that they are constantly changing their weighted values). After all, that’s less about the study of human political economy, and more the study of statistical outcomes. Hilariously enough, the very fact that you can predict ROI’s to even a certain degree is something that Marx would have been alone at the time in predicting would occur in the field, with neo-classical and Austrian school economists claiming since Marx that the market has too many variables to predict accurately, which is why a completely free market is the best statistical judge of people’s wants and desires. After all, if you can predict an ROI, then you can accurately forecast demand.

    I’ll explain it to you like this. You think that your whole bottom tax heavy, lack of educational infrastructure spiel doesn’t fit square within Marx’s predictions (which was predicted and cautioned against by American Marxists since even before Reagan) of the inevitable outcomes of capitalist political-economy, which means to most people here you are simply not worth the economic investment of time to explain shit to for the outcome we will receive, especially for anonymous online horseshit forum.

    Marx’s problem is that despite creating an incredibly accurate picture of the political economy of capitalism, he never actually created an outline for what a socialist political economy, or even transitional socialist economy looks like, which means that even people who believe his economic-political structure of capitalism can and will get things incorrect about how to transition away from that model of ownership and production.
