Karl Marx published Das Kapital in 1867. Despite 700 pages, its central tenet — that human existence is shaped by inherent class struggle — can be summarized geometrically by two points in space that do not even connect to form a one-dimensional line segment. Indeed, Marx conceived the “proletariat” and the “bourgeoisie” as distinct entities, without a continuum or “grey zone” (with the exception of a petite bourgeoisie).
Marx’s vision for the future: abolish private property (an innate human need), destroy the bourgeoisie, and Voilà!, a glorious New Day dawns, a nebulous “dictatorship of the proletariat” arranges a smooth transition, then governments and states somehow fade away, and finally an über-equitable worker-collective spontaneously organizes itself on a purely voluntary basis.

That a 19th-century theorist outlined a fanciful vision is not surprising. What is shocking is the long period of intellectual stagnation — marked by ovine behaviors at universities and in newsrooms — that has left Western societies largely under the influence of Marx in 2024.
So how did Marx fill up those 700 pages? He took his simplistic model of two points in space and applied that to every subject under the sun: economics, politics, society, history, and philosophy. He wrote in an intentionally esoteric, verbose, pseudo-profound writing style that apparently titilates his followers.
For those who lack discernment and want to pass themselves off as insightful, this grandiloquent, pseudointellectual style of verbiage counts more than the vacuum left unfilled by Marx’s two points in space.
What matters for them is not that Marx’s prophesies have all failed to occur, nor the hundreds of millions (!) of people who have died under communist regimes, nor the extravagant claims for which he was too cowardly to provide details. What counts is being accepted into the herd.
It’s not worth trying to remember the so-called intellectuals who decided to switch from “class struggle” to “class + identity,” but names include Derrick Bell, Angela Davis, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado
They are all avowed Marxists or identify themselves as being “influenced by Marxist thought.” They either admit that the identity-track is merely a ploy in the long-term aim of advancing the glorious “proletarian revolution,” or their statements strongly imply that motivation.
The major “contribution” of these cultist pseudo-intellectuals can be understood geometrically: they took Marx’s two dots and formed a line segment. After a century of destruction caused by Marx’s two points in space, these thought-leaders connected the dots. Not in terms of realizing that Marx was wrong, but in postulating a continuum between the identitarian versions of “proletariat” and “bourgeoisie.”
The “Commitment” (loyalty + élan) foundation of 4D Star, in particular, has come under heavy fire from the tyranny of this Wokeism. Trust and a shared sense of destiny, the basis of loyalty, are relentlessly attacked.
If citizens can be made to give fealty primarily to identity groups, rather than to the polity and fellow citizens, then the “Organization” foundation does not function. People turn to pretenders who promise safety but deliver tyranny, undermining freedom and human dignity. Innovation stalls. Sustainability dims.
Thus, even when considering only the tricks they use, Marxists have already unintentionally demonstrated the validity of the 4D Star / Malevolent Star paradigm. No need to mention the failed prophesies that they can’t explain but which 4D Star powerfully elucidates; one needn’t even get that far to see which paradigm has merit.
However, looking at the conditions that the neo-Marxists have imposed on the West, one can clearly see “Failure” written everywhere, (even though their power is incomplete), for reasons that would have been predictable using the author’s paradigm. The negative outcomes in society are too numerous for a serious treatment in this space, but here is one recent disappointment where the neo-Marxists unintentionally proved the strength of the author’s paradigm:
Universities have become cesspools of antisemitic hatred and anti-white indoctrination (degradation of human dignity), intellectual stagnation, paranoia and recriminations (the opposite of loyalty), restrictions on liberty including freedom of speech, and segmentation (as opposed to responsible organization) marked by the return of racial segregation and the costly inefficiency of bloated DEI bureaucracy.
Here we see, yet again, the eternal, dynamic links between the elements of the 2D Level of 4D Star. Because of the inherent connections between Human, Freedom, Loyalty (with élan), Innovation, and Organization, degradation to one foundation damages the others.
In the context of profoundly divergent values, and of Conflict Theory-driven disregard for Human dignity, Emotional (and Spiritual) Connectivity and Communication are predictably at rock-bottom levels of functionality.
With the disintegration of the complex system formed by these foundational elements, there is no resilience or adaptability to face the 3D Level, Sustainability Through Time. The unsustainability of current conditions is clear, as evidenced by unending campus conflict and venomous intolerance, and by the recent resignation of the president of Harvard. (The cultists, of course, merely shuffle personalities while protecting their dogma.)
Thus, by analyzing the critical injuries caused by neo-Marxists, as well as the mechanisms by which they perpetrate harm, one can establish the indisputability of 4D Star, as well as the true nature of Conflict Theory, which is a millenarian death cult.
Indeed, as one might expect when a dimensionally-challenged entity faces off against a multidimensional force, the scorecard is essentially zero to infinity — not only can Marxism not compete, but the contest is over before it begins.
No Marxist predictions have ever materialized; history fully demonstrates the extreme, murderous harm caused by trying to navigate with a one-dimensional (at best), conflict-based paradigm.
On the other hand, every successful and sustainable human activity, ever, reflects harmonious implementation of the principles of 4D Star.
