What do you mean "no one has been successful?" Every AES state has had myriad successes, the dissolution of the USSR had less to do with Socialism and more to do with separation from the global economy. Either way, though, Capital is an analysis of Capitalism, not Socialism, and very clearly explains the mechanical issues with Capitalism in the long term and how it develops, which is why I brought it up.
Capital is an analysis of capitalism and how it will segue into socialism.
Partially, yes, but the focus is on Capitalism itself, hence the header "a Critique of Political Economy." It explains quite well how Capitalism functions and why it cannot last.
Volume One was published 131 years ago?
Yes, your point?
That's basically it.
That the book exists?
