What he was actually expecting was that the contradictions of capitalism will cause the system to implode on itself, which is precisely what we see unfolding today.

He was pretty clearly not just writing about the English proletariat, or the German. Except there wasn't really a Germany the same way at all at the time, because borders are imaginary.

The only thing that's clear is that you've never read Marx, and there's no point trying to have a discussion with somebody who's ignorant on the subject they're attempting to debate. I've already addressed your claim earlier by the way. You're just rehashing the same bullshit here like a parrot.

I have. Even Kapital, through my bleeding eyes. You and me have conversed about it before.

No you didn't, you basically reached for a canned insult, and then made an unrelated claim about something you'd prefer talking about. If you're going to be evasive, you clearly aren't very proud of your ideas, and you're right that it's a waste of our time.

If you had, then you wouldn't be spewing the nonsense that you are here. If you're going to lie at least don't make it so obvious. Nobody is being evasive here. I'm calling out your bullshit here and explaining to you why your claim is factually incorrect. Take the L, admit you're wrong, and move on like a grown ass adult instead of continuing to make a clown of yourself here. It's frankly pathetic.

Are borders real, yes, no or sometimes?

Borders are a social contract, they're as real as any other human construct. Let me know if you're still struggling with this and need me to use smaller words.

Thank you!

It's essentially a (very rough) social contract between one national ruling class and another, though. The only real experience ordinary people have with them is being stopped at customs or deported. Basically, it's a capitalist/mercantilist/feudal contract, that dates back to European 1500's or somewhere thereabouts (edit: mid 1600's).

I'm not going to argue with you about it at this point, but it doesn't seem like it matches, to me.

And given that capitalism is the dominant ideology in the world today, it should be obvious that borders must exist. Glad you figured this out.
