> Marx fails to imagine a world in which labor actually has little to no value.

Marxism was an idea formulated especially as a reaction against a world where labor has lost almost all of its value. Which is precisely the origin of capitalism - the idea that money itself can be productive, and thus people who have lots of money can be expected to get more of it.

This was an untrue idea for most of human history, outside of the circles of moneylending and banking.
