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.
