My professor did this and this exact thing happened. He was a Marxist tho so I'm not sure of the praxis in that case.

Those statues aren't accurate depictions of Marxist college student physique.

At all.

Balanced, flexible approach that allows neither capitalists nor the proletariat to have absolute dominance over the other. Is there a system that does this? Tbh, I don't know.

I do know that end stage capitalism Does Not Work, nor does Communism as we have seen it in the world .

Because communist nations always get stuck at the dictator phase and never make it to the part where the workers actually decide thibgs

As an intellectual, academic exercise Marxism/Communism is a perfect system.

But it will never work in real life because people are not and never will be perfect, selfless beings.

Many capitalist nations have failed without intervention. No communist nation has failed without the US (and many others) interfering to make them fail (because none have existed where this hasn't happened).

If communism were so bad and guaranteed to fail, why would so many resources be spent on destroying them?

so what's the alternative that will work with flawed, selfish beings?

If you say so.
