Logically speaking, Marxism seems like it would make a better society than capitalism. I mean, who likes slaving away making stuff for businesspeople, who don’t actually do any work themselves? Why not just throw them out and keep all the surplus for yourself?

Well, turns out Marx was ever-so-slightly wrong about just a few things. And because his premises were slightly wrong, his conclusions were radically wrong — to the point where Communism is a utopia on paper, and a dystopia in practice.
