I mean yeah you should absolutely still do sensible shit for your own future. The system isn't going to budge either way. Don't become a landlord, but just getting an index fund rolling will really help you out long term. If anything a marxist understanding of how our economy works should make it even more apparent how necessary it is just to survive

Index funds are good, but 401k is first priority, especially if there is employer contribution matching.
