    Georgism is both reformist, so it requires asking the ruling class to willingly kneecap their profits, and only covers rent, really, meaning it ignores exploitation, production, imperialism, overproduction, and crisis. Marxism answers those, and is revolutionary, it’s more relevant because it works and is more complete.

      I’m missing your point. Why then would a person have Georistic rather than Marxist political views?

        Most people wouldn’t. Georgism’s appeal lies soley in that it’s closee to the current system, and would be a decent improvement if it was possible. That’s it. Marxism is both more practical and more complete.
