DWQA QuestionsCategory: Problems in SocietySome have speculated that Marx’s diagnosis of capitalism is mostly accurate, and realistically assesses the legitimate downside of capitalism, but that his solution is utopian, impossibly idealistic, and completely unworkable as he envisioned it. What is Creator’s assessment of this outlook on Marx and his contribution to society?

As we have alluded to, we do not believe his diagnosis was accurate and we question whether this is a contribution to society at all given how it has been embraced and used to exploit and harm millions of people and may continue to do so. His theories create a legitimate seeming rationale for an unworkable system that lends itself too readily to corruption. There is wisdom in the interpretation that a utopian society is unattainable in the real world, and that is true given the broad context you are in a distorted, defective environment that will not allow such a thing to happen. There is too much corruption, too much distortion in thinking that has become deeply ingrained over many centuries with humans essentially being enslaved under one kind of scheme or another. So even left entirely on their own, humans will drift into a hierarchical system of leaders and followers and will dole out rewards and punishments arbitrarily, and will tend to become self-serving to the extent they can get away with it and this will lead to the powerful dominating and exploiting the weak time after time after time. So in that sense, the critics are correct, not because the ideal of a fair and equitable society where everyone contributes according to their ability and receives benefits according to their needs is an impossibility, it is just that it can only be run smoothly by true divine humans in a divine setting, not within the corrupted earth plane where there are physical imperatives and many sources of stress and inequality and temptations that will inevitably distort things. The main problem is if the energies are such there will be a distribution of power, what are the relative merits of holding and implementing the power locally by the members of an organization themselves versus having an outside body setting the rules, creating the standards, and enforcing their will on strangers? People who seek the latter arrangement are naive and are as lambs to the slaughter.
