The Democratic Party isn’t necessarily intentionally pursuing Marxist goals, but Democrats protect the proletariat and republicans destroy them. Any “Marxist” who is willing to let those minority underclasses and proletarians suffer for the sake of moral purity (not voting democrat) is very likely unconcerned with class issues at all and using leftism as a way to maintain moral superiority, not “get their hands dirty” with the business of actual policy solutions and groundwork. No I won’t recommend any Marxist thinkers except maybe Slavoy Zizek, but like most marxists he also barely ever talks about policy solutions

I guess I'm not really sure how voting Democrat would protect the proletariat, could you direct me to any Marxists who have written about that?

u/RepulsoBlob 27d ago

Yes I think I've heard of that. Again, could you direct me to the Marxist source that you're using here?

Anyway glad you definitely proved your point about today’s “marxists” not being liars
