Holy moly. A lot to digest there. Will take a bit to respond to, if I can. Not sure if your dialogue, in the absence of a prior knowledge of sociological/political jargon is served for general consumption. But the ideas you raise are pertinent and require airing and due consideration.

Marx was right to diagnose the problems he examined, but he got his causation & correlation mixed up - armed revolt is a symptom of classism, rather than a solution for it. The Scandi nations seem to have achieved his desired outcomes without the bloodbaths. As JFK once said, "those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable."

i dunno if you're understanding dialectical materialism. a subjugated class fighting against a subjugating class is a dialectical process, not a one way road.
