Some parts of Marxism are incredibly strange. I advocate for land value taxes which is basically a big middle finger to land owners. Yet Marx will suggest people seize the "means of production" in this case the land. But there is a big reason why the evil white land owner had that land. He utilized it the most in the short term even if that means destroying it over the long term.

The reason why capitalism works so well for poor countries is that they have decades of growth ahead of them and capitalism forces growth at the cost of exploitation.
