I don't think so at first, but i think communism is essentially a system that creates a power vacuum in pursuit of itself that almost always leads to tyranny from my understanding of history, if that makes sense
Marxism makes no sense, it said feudalism led to mercantilism but that was apparent. Marx and Engels saw that and was already old then and wearing out, then thought capitalism was a transient phase of self contradicting. Ready their works, 'contradictions' is one of the biggest things they talk about. Only class though.
It's would be like saying someone said gravity and levity of Plato and Aristotle would lead to modern quantum physics, before even Newton. It's nuts. Marx was a baby cared fool that his own parents disowned and lived off mostly rich Engels. Null himself said it's a 'childlike thought process of reality'. And billions of people fell for it, just like islam.
You can trace modern leftism a bit before to the Paris Commune and so on, whatever. It's all bullshit.
The one thing about Marxism with economics and society that I noticed growing up similar is that 'scientists' like Sagan and Brian Greene later thought humanity was really close to a full theory that'll last forever about everything. It ain't gonna happen in this universe. Things always change.
We're seeing it now with this AI/robotics 'post scarcity/money' situation some are talking. There will still be a need of distribution of wealth based on production, which is capitalism of the Smith kind. You can't have everyone have an original Mona Lisa, it'll have intrinsic value that can't be shared.
I've probably shared this before, but the entire concept of 'value' to me is nonsensical and subjective. Even 'money' is mostly a BS setup. It's both a 'store of wealth' and an 'exchange of value'. Marxism doesn't address this at all. Free market Capitalism is the best for now on this.
Being exposed to Calc 3 where it introduces business/value/rate of change is somewhat interesting, but it's not a good predictor of objective human behavior when it comes to economics. Economics is 50% art, 25% math, 25% science.
