The idea that by pointing to some successes, it justifies the whole system of appropriating labour for profit is utterly falacious and false. I hope you can see that it's not sound reasoning.
A system can have merits; Marx was very clear that Capitalism has various merits, especially over its predecessors. His idea was that there is a further reachable goal. You have made no effort to dismiss this other than by saying "what we have now is pretty ok".
>Try talking to someone who lived through one of them.
Why would their experience be relevant to reformulations in theory? To be clear, I'm not advocating for Soviet-style Communism.
