Without watching the clip yet: Marx lost most of his children from preventable causes, he totally messed his household economics, owing to everyone under the sun in his vicinity, exploited the working class by not paying it for goods and services, was racist and a bigot (examples: Lassalle & Proudhon), he even fathered an illegitimate child with his housekeeper (which he "passed" to Engels - even though the kid was his spitting image) whom he never paid for her work, had to sell all their furniture, at some point, under the pressure of debts to local merchants like the butcher and the grocery store. Ans this is the guy that the Left idolizes while never ever hearing about Mises, Hayek, Rothbard, Menger, Von Bohm Bawerk, Hazlitt, etc who had sufficiently deconstructed Marx's nonsense. I have personally added another element of deconstruction to his nonsensical theory. Specifically to his views on labor value (if some other theorist has already pointed this out, I'm unaware of it), by stating that the surplus value from labor is only present when there's a good idea behind it, without which no such surplus value could be created. Example: Marx advocates that the capitalist steals a part of the surplus value generated by labor by paying a lesser amount to the laborer and the difference becomes his profit. That's shallow, a gross simplification and ultimately utter nonsense! I could place a million workers digging a hole and another million covering it up without creating no surplus value whatsoever. It's the business idea and the actual product or service that intrinsically possess the potential for the creation of market-based (individual-voted) surplus value, not so much actual labor going into it which is neither special nor (necessarily) rare (to find).
