Also who gives a shit about what some bearded weirdo that died over a century ago thinks about problems involving things that didn’t exist in his lifetime? Marxism is like a weird cult now, an opiate that’s an obstacle for any positive change.
The closest bus stop to my workplace is over a mile away and has a significant hill. It also snows here. Believe me, I’d love to ditch the car if possible, but… it’s just not possible in my current living situation.
The town planning and public transit options would be absurdly different, were private ownership of motor vehicles actually outlawed. The bus stop would be a lot closer. There’d be more buses. There would be dedicated, protected bike lanes that got plowed immediately in the snow. The sidewalks would be plowed by the city. Etc.
Colour me shocked, public transport? A thing? Gadzooks! /j
There is a weird internet cult about him, true. But the things he said were important, adding greatly to the body of thought that makes the world we live in today.
Its pretty flippant to disregard his words on the control of resources, just because he never sat behind the wheel of the 20th Century cart.
Marx had some interesting things to say about economics, but he was a complete bonehead about politics. The works of John Maynard Keynes supersedes everything Marx did on economics, so we’re just left with a boneheaded political ideology which is more of religious movement than anything else.
Not really a fan of allowing corporations ‘control over the means of transportation’.
I bet Marx could come up with a great explanation of why its a bad idea.
But i’m not him so i’m just gona go with Dennis Denuto’s, “its the vibe”.

Oh, yes, I always vote for and note in comments recommendations towards increased public transit options whenever I can!
Fair fair!
