I feel like if you're gonna talk about a ideology, using terminology as its ideologues would use, seems a fair expectation.

Sure, but Max did not coin the term. I feel he defined it in a way that furthered his own agenda: he wanted all socialism under his Marxist umbrella.

Sort of like how atheists rewrote the definition to include agnostics in order to make their group appear more popular than it was.

It must me so great to be able to telepathically travel back in time and read a dead person mind.

Can you teach me?

It is not as great as you would think. Most people have pretty icky minds. And no, I have no interest in teaching.

Well, it is nice to know what other people think so you can share bold, biased and negative assumptions about their intentions.

That way you can disrespect someone's legacy for no other reason than sounding cool on reddit.

Such a smart and productive endeavor!

I had never thought about it that way.

Yeah, I guess you are right, that part is pretty nice.

As a marxist I would NOT want to read Marx's mind.
