It's probably more because philosophy in general isn't something that lots of people have an interest in, economics are often boring, and Das Kapital combines both into one incredibly dense, challenging to read book.
Personally, I think that Marx and Engels do a great job of describing the problem, but I don't think that their solution takes human nature into effect. Economics assumes that people are fully rational actors that will do the smartest thing all the time, but that's clearly not the case; there are other forces shaping human behavior. Marx and Engels don't seem to account for that.
What is the difference between “human nature” and god?
God (probably) doesn't exist. Humans do.
@HelixDab2 @duderium You are yourself in confusion and the word 'probably' clarifies that. God willing, you haven’t any proof that He doesn’t exist though you don’t have proof either if He exists. The problem here is: there are many things about that we might say: probably don’t exist. May God show you His path.
I use "probably" because there is no empirical, experimental evidence that demonstrates the existence of any kind of god. If god wants to demonstrat his/her/its existence, then it should be simple to do in a way that can be verified. And yet, he/she/it does not.
Per the scientific method, you can not demonstrate that a thing does not exist, you can only demonstrate that it does. There is no evidence that reliably demonstrates that god exists. Therefore it is probably that a god does not exist.
@HelixDab2 Well, if I leave a golf ball in a large field and you search only the part of the filed and take decision that probably the ball is not in the filed, it definitely will sound ridiculous; simply because you haven’t even searched the whole field. Have you read anywhere that someone or group belonged to science has mentioned that we have searched the whole universe and didn’t found God? I am sure you haven’t.
And yet, here you are claiming to have found god right here. And what is your falsifiable evidence, exactly? What empirical proof do you have? What experiments have you run, and what kind of control groups did you have?
You are making the claim that a god exists, so give me your evidence.
