Why does it seem like Marx's observations about society were more right than wrong?
His thoughts about the causing of these social issues, and his prediction for the outcomes may have been wrong, but what he actually discusses in his work brings up deja vu for me. Does r9k represent a rejection of modern society's definition of human nature? Is NEETdom an early form of communism?

>In the capitalist mode of production, the generation of products (goods and services) is accomplished with an endless sequence of discrete, repetitive, motions that offer the worker little psychological satisfaction for "a job well done". By means of commodification, the labour power of the worker is reduced to wages (an exchange value); the psychological estrangement (Entfremdung) of the worker results from the unmediated relation between his productive labour and the wages paid him for the labour.

>the fact that people act selfishly is held to be a product of scarcity and capitalism, not an immutable human characteristic.
