The explosion of AI and robots will keep prices down.
The time of great material abundance, as Marx called it, will soon come.
Then, the second part of the prophecy,the selfishness of human nature, all kinds of governments and the wars they bring will disappear and become exhibits in the Museum of History.
It is possible that this prophecy will come true.


By the way, Marx's prophecy is easier to fulfill than Jesus'.

I'd like to elaborate on these points, like that Yugoslavian user did. But it would be long and tedious, and I hate that.

How can we convince 77 million people to accept that the 1950s are over, ditch the Cold War-era red scare mindsets, and shut up about "welfare queens", so that we can become a social democracy like the Nordic countries?

People who proselytize to a captive audience should be trespassed and banned from wherever it is that they're doing their preaching.

Their freedoms end where their victims rights and freedoms begin and that includes freedom from religion. Freedom of speech does not include a right to engage in harassment, which is what occurs when the audience is captive.
