What a tiny set of spectacles from which to view the world: it's all about the exploitation.

Could it be that in the 150 years since Marx made his point, there has been an industrial revolution and the "end of scarcity", which means it's really, really difficult to exploit someone that way who doesn't want to be exploited?

I think he would shred his original treatise in view of the amount of plain old suffering his school of thought has caused the human race. Even the fucking Chinese are going Capitalist as much as possible, and generating wealth that's pulling them out of poverty.
