Please, show me where Marx said what you think he did. Explain the dialectical materialist theory of knowledge and how it has been disproven.
As for the men and women, they are not acting against their perceived interests, you did not explain this one bit. They both believe themselves to be acting in their own interests.
As for the USSR, you are factually wrong. The soviets had recall elections, and party members were subjected to criticism by the public. People outside of the communist party could and did run. Competing parties were not allowed, but that’s the only thing correct you said. I linked you mountains of evidence.
As for Mamdani, you’ll find that he cannot implement socialism even if he wanted to. It’s theatrics, they will never allow actual change, at best a bone tossed to the public. Even then, you can see that capitalists are kicking it into gear to prevent his reforms from taking place. Mamdani proves me correct.
The dialectical materialist theory of knowledge is not a scientific hypothesis that can be “disproven” in a laboratory, but rather a philosophical framework. Critics widely reject it because it is unfalsifiable, imposes abstract rules onto empirical science, and relies on vague definitions.
They both believe themselves to be acting in their own interests.
You are missing the point. Their class interest is not their only interest. Various interests can take precedence over class interest.
People outside of the communist party could and did run.
Were they allowed to win? How often did they “accidentally” fall out of windows? Were the votes for them actually counted? No, the USSR was not a democracy. There was no free speech. The government heavily policed and punished dissent. Without free speech there can be no democracy.
As for Mamdani, you’ll find that he cannot implement socialism even if he wanted to.
You should know that democratic socialism is different and he is already implementing it. He is creating real tangible change. Sure, he can’t transform the whole system alone, but for one person in a position of power he is doing a lot. Your idea that a cabal of capitalists control the government is nothing less than a conspiracy theory.
