    What is an addiction other than acting against your self interest? Nuclear proliferation is objectively a bad thing for humanity as a whole. It is game theory (another concept not included with Marx’s archaic concepts) that causes nations to act against their interests by endangering us all with nuclear weapons.

    capital is at the driver’s seat, not humans

    Capital can’t make decisions, only humans.

    There is no such thing as a "political class.

    Another way that Marx fails. The president can own no capital (ex. Carter) but can command the largest army in the world and fire nuclear weapons as they choose. Actually ownership of capital is irrelevant. Control of capital is what matters. Power is what matters.
