Marx's argument is a sound one, if you accept the possibility of one rejecting the trappings of society. It does not seem likely that a blue-collar worker would suddenly decide the things society deems valuable are not for him. The regular person is reminded constantly of how the better half lives.

Marx may have a point about the origin of this idea, and how it comes from past generations, but he does not live in today's world. History may have taken a step in the wrong direction by placing merit on wealth and power over others, but this does not seem like something that can be undone. In order to do that, humanity would have to remove itself from itself, which is not possible. Even if it were, the leading powers would make it ill
