"Putting it into perspective."

In his messianic delusions, with the intention of reengineering all of humanity, not just in Liverpool or Manchester, he watched the absolute misery on the industrial production lines where children, women, adults and men worked in semi-slavery, whose synesthesia was the greatest economic progress ever made by humanity in Western Europe.

Heinrich Karl Marx began to go into a delirium and imagined a society of equals without the moral decadence of the Industrial Revolution, so he reasoned that there should be a brake and not a moderation in the ambition and greed of the capitalists, financiers and politicians of that stage of Humanity, in order to obtain the same technological progress without the collateral damage of unbridled accumulation.

To this end, Karl did not deny the technological process of industrial production on a mechanized, standardized assembly line, but intended to distribute the successes of the Industrial Revolution to the workers.

This is where the distortions begin when the principles of capitalist accumulation, which are the pillars of the construction of civilization, which is accumulation and concentration, are destroyed.

All cities are what they are due to the effect of the concentration of ample resources in a small area that exponentially increases the social division of labor, but there is no way to do this without scalability, without specialization, without concentration, without incentives and rewards for productivity, in other words: equality without homogenization that destroys talents and exponents, equalizing the best with the worst, which is called capitalism.

So Marx assumed that capitalism would implode due to the excessive concentration of everything, of capital, of privileges, of wealth.

Since this did not happen in the best economies, it was necessary to destroy or accelerate this destruction of capitalism, but to do so, the infiltrated communists asked for the help of criminals to destabilize the social organization through the terror of bandits, murderers, drug dealers, and on the other hand, to destroy Christian morality, the family and justice.

It didn't work precisely because it is the communists who are distorting capitalism by encouraging the destruction of social organization and not its internal contradictions as Karl Marx expected. The new thinkers of the Frankfurt School and Gramsci thought of this change as accelerating and helping the fall and decadence of capitalism, which was never possible, as Marx's fatalistic and unrealistic predictions had never materialized.
