Marxists aren’t anarchists. They’re fascists. They disrupt and destroy in order to convince people that free markets (which they label derogatorily as “capitalism”—a pejorative in the Marxist lexicon) don’t work and that we need Communism to make everything fair and equal, which is impossible due to simple human preferences (everyone likes to spend their time and money differently always resulting in some form of inequality or another), but that’s ok because like I said, they’re fascists, who plan to enforce this new system with guns only they can own, and kill anyone who refuses to go along with it—like they always do.
Remember, Marx and Engels didn’t invent and evangelize Communism because they actually saw it as a superior economic model to natural free markets (with a reasonable amount of governmental control, of course) but as a way to convince entire nations to commit economic suicide, topple their governments, and allow the international banking cartel to which they belonged, and the aspiring dictators they financially supported, to fill the power vacuum that was inevitably left behind.
Yes. I’m always frustrated with libertarians who ignorantly repeat the lie that the free market would satisfy all our needs on its own, free of government. These people don’t seem to know what a monopoly is, and how our rights and freedoms would cease to exist without a government run by the people. Something must fill the power vacuum and arbitrate between parties, settle disputes, issue reasonable regulations, keep the peace, etc.
You will have a government whether you like it or not. Libertarian (anarchism) utopias are just as impossible as communist ones. The question is, do you want to have a voice in how that government is run or not? Are you willing to be the one to be trampled by the whims of others, or will you participate in securing your rights and liberties while insisting on remaining peaceful with those willing to remain peaceful with you.
Yes. Individual socialized programs here and there for a variety of things can work just fine and are even sometimes superior to a free market option. That really is what the majority of our debates in America should consist of: what is the right balance in a variety of instances?

socialist policies are fine; socialist societies are not, as they inevitably lead to Communism.
