> Hasn’t Marxism had its chance? Marx said "I will not write recipes for the kitchen of the future". As Marx refused to create a "Marxism" for someone to implement, how can Marxism have been tried? It's a question asked by someone who knows little to nothing of him. It's like someone new to computers asking which programming language to learn. There is no answer as it is a naive question. The answer is any or all languages, and they should be studying algorithms and data structures and programming language principles, not the specific mechanism for counting how many characters are in a string in a particular language. > how many precedents are there for a complete upheaval of the economic system The upheaval around the time of behavioral modernity. The transition from hunter-gatherer to agriculture. From imperial Rome latifundias to feudalism. From feudalism to capitalism. Then the stirrings of post-capitalist systems from the Paris Commune top now. So that's quite a few changes over the past millennia. Also Marx said these systems are not overthrown, they self-destruct. Kind of like the Great Depression - due to the internal logic of capitalism, companies will shut, evictions will rise, unemployment will skyrocket, and no internal mechanism of capitalism will have a solution to this.
