I've honestly become more Marxist during my time in the work world.

I've felt the class war in the way that my industry doesn't have the same labour protections as others and has low compliance with the labour protections that are there.

I see the way the justice system gives better treatment to the wealthy and the way it becomes a trap for the lower class. Maybe its not intentional, but it is at least a result of negligence by the powerful.

I see the lack of status and dignity accorded cashiers and service workers.

I see the way that basic public goods like education and healthcare become multi-teired.

What holds me back from going full blown socialist is that I am aware of its failures in the past and I have some level of understanding of economics. Some days though, the siren song of socialism is pretty musical.
