    So I’m kinda dumb but is this saying that people will move from upper class to lower class. Basically as time moves forward the ring of super rich grows smaller?

    If so that sounds like what happened with Mario’s brother. A white fairly rich kid bucking against the system

      Yes, you’re exactly correct. Marx’s most major observations of Capitalism were its centralizing nature, and this is why he posited that the natural next phase of human development is harnessing this and turning to full public ownership and central planning. If you want an “intro to Marx,” I made a Marxist reading list.
