Marxism is in of itself a proven failure. Trying to implement failed ideologies will only ever result in more of the same failure. There are other, more successful ways to bring change with better principles, more accurate framework, and better results historical results.
"Well then we'll make them free", the contradiction of the auth-left, that has it face-plant, successfully making a mockery of "the left" in the minds they and their auth-right counterparts have both convinced to believe the only left. Freedom first, or they'll keep playing us across the economics tacking ever more authoritarianwards.
And to those in the Marxist-believer groupthink, and those peddling the notion that "neo-liberal" parties are "the left", there is no libertarian left. Oh no, don't look over there, and don't say things like that, or you're a Republican fascist. LOL. It's a lot more fun when you see through the psyop ploys, and stop falling for it.
No more having terror successfully deployed on the brain for political power usurping. Terrorism, definitively. No more of that. From those who accuse, but really confess. "Look out! Terrorists!" Is terrorist. And that's what the duopoly do. Keep scaring you into the arms of their counterpart puppet. "No such thing as bad advertising", especially when you've cornered the market and are in a system where people are scared into voting against who they don't want, rather than for what they do want.
Imagine what that's like... being in a system where you get to vote for what you want, not terrorised into voting against who you most don't want. Imagine. Not a system racing to the bottom of kakistarchy, but a system where you have a real say, towards good stuff.
No corrupting centralising single-point-of-failure power-nexus attracting the most ruthless and power-abusing.
Everybody getting their real say, without duress. Free to use their creative, critical, constructive, considerate potential of their forebrains (y'know, the thing oft said most separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom), rather than succumbing to our hind-brain's survival mode, all reactive and tribal, stressing us, making us sick. Imagine that, being healthy and free... Sounds like what'd happen if we didn't have all this fascism and kleptarchy and kakistarchy and attercoparchy. Sounds like real democracy; organised by the people.
Direct democracy, liquid democracy, hybrid democracy, config-democracy, so many ways better...

This ain't Marxism bruh.
Which Marxism though?
The young Marx, when there was still freedom in his thinking?
Middle Marx, when freedom was reduced to a wishful "it'll happen, trust the economics, bruh"?
Old Marx, when the "well then we'll make them free" & "some are more equal than others" tankies and totalitarians had completely usurped it, and handed it back to state-capitalists?
Best not take the freedom out. Other political philosophers are available.
"We are convinced that liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; and that socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality." -- Mikhail Bakunin.
Bruh, I do believe you may have responded to the wrong person. I never mentioned Marx here other than to say I didn't quote Marxism.
I literally posted a picture and quote of Malatesta.
But
Is what you wrote. The very thing I responded to. That mentioned Marxism. I was merely expanding on that, showing it's not the one simple thing that many Marxists and many McCarthyians swing around like a homogenous cudgel.
It seems more like you've made an error there.
I didn't see how you were trying to expand on what I said.
