    He is not taking a Marxist position

    Precisely that’s why it’s taken him 80 years longer than Marxists to reach that conclusion.

    Not every criticism of Capitalism is an endorsement of Marxism

    Which is why non-marxist anti-capitalist movements such as Salvador Allende’s socialism in Chile, or Mosaddegh’s Iran, inevitably fail within a few years due to the lack of understanding of class struggle and the history of capitalism.
