Marxist "Theory" is Not Theory
Marxist "Theory" is a misnomer.
Marxist "Theory" is not theory.
Fools misuse words that are better left for people who are not stupid.
A theory must have predictive power. That is, a theory must be able to explain something is such a way that it can be demonstrated to be true. For example, to be a theory, a political theory must not only “describe” and “explain” but also “predict political events and behaviours.”1
In the scientific process, a theory is something that has started as a hypothesis and then (if after being exhaustively tested by independent teams of scientists trying their best to disprove the hypothesis it is not disprove) is elevated to the status of Theory.
In other words, a theory is that which has been proven to be true with as much certainty as is possible with reliable, repeatable and thorough methods.
Marxist "Theory" is anything of the sort. In fact, Marxist "Theory" was proven to be false with the first communist revolution. See, Marxist "Theory" predicts that socialist revolutions inevitably arise from late capitalist societies. What happened in reality? The socialist revolutions actually occurred in non-capitalist societies that had barely made it to industrialization, let alone late capitalism: Russia, China, Vietnam, etc were barely industrialized, if at all, and certainly not in the late stage of capitalism.
Also, Marxist "Theory" relies upon the quasi religious faith in a (Worker's) Utopia which is like Heaven to them; a world in which everyone is angelic, non-violent, and perfectly happy being exactly the same as everyone else, owning nothing with no goals or interests other than working for food.
Marxist "Theory" is not theory at all.
