Don't worry! The fall of capitalism and the victory of the working class over capitalism are equally inevitable!

Workers still have to make an active effort to abolish capitalism, though (Good Start: join/form a union at your workplace), but the conditions for the destruction of capitalism are created by the very existence of capitalism itself.

The union says that Safeway and Albertsons are “holding hands” with King Soopers to try and cut workers’ healthcare benefits, saying earlier this week that the company is backtracking on an agreement for retroactive pay and benefit increases, which the labor union cited as an unfair labor practice.

FOX31 Denver · UFCW Local 7 ends Safeway, Albertsons contract extension, could strike as soon as SundayBy Heather Willard

I don't care about Marx's opinion on anything. In regard to Marx, I only care about the facts he discovered through his scientific analysis of class and class struggle.

Marx should get credit for his discovery of these facts, but these facts can be explained without mentioning Marx constantly, just as gravity can be explained without bringing up Newton or how evolution can be explained without bringing up Darwin.

Focus more on the facts, not their discoverers.

Capitalists don't create their wealth. The workers who they hire create their wealth, and since the capitalist owns the means of production, they legally get to keep most of the wealth generated from the workers labor, while only giving the laborers a small fraction of what they actually generated, just enough to survive and maybe buy back some of the products that they made. None of this is fair or just.
