Who killed Marxism? According to Heath, it was Rawls. Back in the 1970s,


many of the smartest and most important people working in political philosophy were Marxists of some description. So what happened to all this ferment and excitement, all of the high-powered theory being done under the banner of Western Marxism? It’s the damndest thing, but all of those smart, important Marxists and neo-Marxists, doing all that high-powered work, became liberals.

Put in simplest terms, Marxists killed Marxism.

"Some readers will no doubt take issue with Heath’s describing Rawls as “triumphing” over Marxism. This may be because they think the rumors of Marxism’s death are being exaggerated, but perhaps also because the language of victory and defeat may seem inapt. Maybe a better metaphor would instead be one in which Marxism is a ladder that is climbed and then set aside?

What Marx understood is supply and demand. Marx is one of the top 5 economist in the past 200 years. Workers can only afford to buy some of their necessities during austerity. The wife, kids, and credit cards work overtime to keep up with the bills. I personally know someone who is willing to work 100 hours a week to make ends meet.

I still regret all the extra hours I worked because of money and peer pressure. I burned out at the early age of 55. No capitalist would pay to keep me in the game. Everyone is expendable in our system but anyone with any talent knows that's bullshit. I got hired for my smooth completion of contracts. Everyone knew we wouldn't be fighting fires.
