Tldr: an astrologer attempts to integrate Neptune into the theory.

It's no surprise he needs poverty levels to be worse than in the 1930s to push for Marxism, but the actual reduction in poverty has been ginormous.
"The estimates presented in this chapter show that between 1820 and 2018 the prevalence of extreme poverty across the globe fell from 76% to 10%, the lowest level ever achieved, according to our method... This reduction, however, is not distributed evenly throughout the period.
It took 136 years from 1820 for our global poverty rate to fall under 50%,
then another 45 years to cut this rate in half again by 2001.
In the early 21st century, global poverty reduction accelerated, and in 13 years our global measure of extreme poverty was halved again by 2014. "
