Yes and no.

Marx's argument is that society is a product of material conditions. A huge portion of his life's work was arguing against the Idealist view that society is just an idea.

Exactly. I assume that OP hasn't read anything of Marx, but he still wants to somehow create a discussion. First read the author, then create a discussion. If you want to understand Marx's theories of society, you can't just ask 'was he right'. You should read it, analyze it with and then start a discussion

>>8176216
No, because society wouldn't go away if people stopped believing in it; it's a product of material conditions and will emerge regardless of petty beliefs given correct conditions. Stop assuming that Marx is a social constructivist just because SJWs are social constrictivists and /pol/ told you that all SJWs are Marxists.

It's obviously meant as a joke.

are you sure?. it´s like the tree zen story. ( If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?)
