Bray claims he's not a Marxist. I'm less convinced. Putting aside the jargon for a moment, the core theory of Marxism was that capitalism would collapse due to its own contradictions, and that would open the possibility of creating a fully equal society through the destruction of the ruling capitalist class and massive redistribution of wealth. Marx thought that once that was done the state would disappear (doh). Brayism, for want of a better name, seems to have the following features: 1) A conviction that capitalism is going to ruin everything good unless it's destroyed. 2) A belief in massive redistribution of wealth (taxing the crap out of the 1%) in order to benefit the poor. 3) Totalitarian state surveillance in which financial privacy is forbidden. 4) A vague desire to whack business people and other capitalists much more severely than today, and generally crack down on anything that smells capitalist (like financial transactions). 5) An uncosted UBI i.e. more massive wealth redistribution. That all sounds like a rather classically Marxist agenda to me, just with updated terminology. Bray claims the proletariat no longer exists whilst spending the rest of his post talking about the plight of the non-1% and how awful well paid bankers and CEOs are. Instead of "handing the means of production to the proletariat" it's "a universal basic income funded by taxing the 1%", but that's a relatively trivial matter of wording compared to the massive implications. Bray ends his post by asking which parties have ideas like the ones he listed. I think he'll find the communist party is a good fit.
