Marx explicitly advocated for revolutionary terror with the intent to eradicate whole classes of people. That's quite hate-y.
The fact that professed followers of Marx riffed somewhat on his themes doesn't make his ideology any fluffier.
- CrackerNews 4y agoThere are those who advocate for revolutionary violence, and there are those who advocate for reformist change.
- lucozade 4y agoSure, and Marx advocated for revolutionary violence. Now, I'm pretty sure he was thinking more Paris Commune than Killing Fields but to argue that Marx was a just reformist is ahistoric. And sure, there are people who profess to being marxist who don't believe in revolutionary violence as there are those that went well beyond his direct manifesto. But Marx was pretty clear where he stood and was happy to put it in writing.
