Alcoholism and drug addiction are just as you said, addictions. Nuclear proliferation is a good thing to protect against the US Empire, as we can see with the DPRK remaining. The fact that we have not adequately addressed climate change is because capital is at the driver’s seat, not humans. None of this discredits Marxism.
There is no such thing as a “political class.” Administrators were part of the rest of the working classes, receiving an income in the form of wages, without owning capital.
The fact that democracy exists does not mean every change is good.
Marx is not incorrect, all you’ve proven is a lack in understanding Marx.
What is an addiction other than acting against your self interest? Nuclear proliferation is objectively a bad thing for humanity as a whole. It is game theory (another concept not included with Marx’s archaic concepts) that causes nations to act against their interests by endangering us all with nuclear weapons.

Capital can’t make decisions, only humans.
There is no such thing as a "political class.
Another way that Marx fails. The president can own no capital (ex. Carter) but can command the largest army in the world and fire nuclear weapons as they choose. Actually ownership of capital is irrelevant. Control of capital is what matters. Power is what matters.
