The system before Marx's communism is what Russia is today and what Trump is trying to turn America into. Where the country is fully controlled by autocrats and the lower classes have absolutely no voice.

Using the Hegelian Dialectic as a determinate paradigm for inevitable human progression there would be no accounting for going down a wormhole and ending up with "Batshit Crazy".

Marx was not speaking of class as in 'classless' behavior - he was speaking about the class that rules and the rest of us. For Marx, the Groper Don the Con and his ilk are the class that has to be overthrown.

Took me a minute. Always better to read a post fully before making an ass of myself, I suppose.

Well done!
