No, indeed not. You don't have to be a Marxist to see that as the working class got the vote and the labor movement got organized, that transformed the fight over monetary policy in the United States and in Europe. Well, quickly, in my view, the principle shortcoming of Marx's social theory was its inability to see the importance of the expansion of the franchise. I'm not at all certain it could have been seen from the vantage point of the middle 19th century. But that expands the class struggle to the ballot box.
