"Marxism is outdated at best". Wrong. As long as there is class struggle, poverty, social injustice, and a capitalistic war machine, Marxist theory WILL be relevant and discussed. This is a fact, I dont see how its even up for debate. Dialectical Materialism, like it or not, is a legitimate philosophy that deserves attention and consideration. *Edit* If we can believe in some authoritarian sky wizard as creating the earth and that we are his subjects, something which has ZERO evidence to support it, than yes, we can objectively believe in Materialism. Materialism only concerns itself with what actually IS and can be proven, meaning the world around us. If anything, Marx's idea of Materialism is far more rational and makes much more sense than most forms of idealism, especially religion.
But I'll tell you what. Let us keep the status quo intact for the sake of proving me wrong. Lets stay on the same course we currently are, and keep making the corporations more powerful, the rich richer, the poor poorer, and start up as many wars on so-called terrorism as we can. And continue to keep hoping and praying for change to come. When humanity is done wiping itself out in the process, and the environment is all but wrecked, I can sit back, laugh, and say "told you so" from the grave. I just hope the elites know that eventually, they will run out of proletariat labor to maximize utility off of after we are all thrown away like a bunch of inkless ball point pens, and put in the ground. That assembly line conveyor belt will stop eventually though, and they will join us soon enough. Guess it matters not, we all gotta go one day anyway. Cheers.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
