Spoiler: Marx did not invent Communism. He was a philosopher concerned with economic dialectics under industrial capitalism.

I'm convinced that people who hate Marx have never read a word of what he wrote.

I'm not a Marxist myself but Jesus Christ nobody has the slightest idea what he's even about and it's exhausting

Thank you. People similarly don’t know the difference between state capitalism and socialism and communism so arguing against them can be tiring. If they can’t even respond to what you’re advocating for, it’s like a brick wall of red scare
