Marxism has been falsified and disproved definitively in both theory and practice in every conceivable way. And yet Marxism still seems to speak, and always newly. Karl Marx asserted that capitalism wouldn’t be overcome until the dictatorship of the proletariat was globally achieved. This was based on his conclusion that the inherent contradiction of bourgeois society during the Industrial Revolution posed an insoluble problem. He believed that the proletarianized working class, those at the bottom who embody and suffer the most from this contradiction, would inevitably try for political power in a democratic revolution.
