Wolff truly is a Marxist. Like Marx, he thinks socialism can do better than capitalism. Like Marx, his ideas about how socialism would work are extremely vague. This is best revealed on the subject of housing. Wolff says that in the US, the private housing market has failed and acknowledges that public housing has failed. He offers no explanation of why public housing failed or what alternative should be tried.
Unlike Marx, Wolff has the knowledge of what happened when Marx's ideas were attempted to be implemented at large scale. He barely acknowledges the Soviet Union's "social problems." I wonder if Marx would be less delusional with Wolff's knowledge.
