I think Marxism faces two main contradictions right now.

1. Ideology.
2. Money.

Like not capital, but actual money, we are bad at funding because we moralise it too much. Fees, collections and donations are not sustainable, and dry up during crisis. We need more hard economics.

And thing is, you can mitigate a lot of damage with capital, and actual finances. Dialectically it makes a lot of sense. Imagine a Marxist investment firm that, sure, exploits labour, but also returns a lot of the surplus dividends to the workers.

It's better than not doing that

If you can pick between "Capital benefits bourgeois interests by 100%" and "Capital benefits bourgeois interests by 20%" then, the latter, obviously.

You can pour that money into strike funds, pensions, social programmes, worker's parties, you name it. Like we need that. We need firm institutional power.

And I think in a lot of cases what holds us back is ideology, not just class oppression. Because yes, such a project would be hard for working class people. But we don't even EXAMINE it as an option.
