    Marx was wrong about the takeover of political power of the proletariat.

    Even if poverty still exists in industrialized countries, the type of porverty that exists is very different from nineteenth century poverty. Poor people in advanced nations have access to all, or most basic needs such as food, clean drinking water, electricity, or heating.

This did not necessarily happen even if many anti-capitalist revolutions took place in history, starting in 1917 in Russia.
