I am genuinely curious about the appeal of Marxism to some.
To me, there are 3 types of people who want Marxism.
Those who are incapable of succeeding in a capitalist market andd therefore need to be provided for, in which case communism sounds like the best approach. These people most likely cannot be saved--and the ultimate challenge for America as a free country is whether or not to allow this cancerous thinking to exist when it is a threat to the very Constitution that creates the freedom to harbor such thoughts. Many of these also are in #3 below.
Those who don't understand the opportunity within a capitalist market, and who naively get sucked into the feel good notion of communism. These people can be saved. But it will require a concerted effort.
Those who want to establish the hierarchy of bureaucratic communism because they want to be one of the pigs at the top, and for reason they think they're in the club. These people... well, I don't want to get a ban from this board, so I will leave it at that.
To your #3: 20 years after the hierarchy of pigs in the Soviet Union, did their part and betrayed all their fellow Russians. They too were arrested and put in the Gulags to be worked to death and starved. There is only death and betrayal on the road to Marxism ahead.
Need to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. Problem is, it’s always someone else’s eggs and they never end up making the omelette…. Just constant cracking.
This time the marxists legit have the technological capacity to destroy humanity multiples over. Worst part is the mental psyop warfare and the lies. It’s non stop.
To me, no 'ism is the perfect solution. They all have issues and, interestingly, although they seem to set off in opposite directions they still meet up round the back!
For instance, Capitalism has given us the bankers. They have their own states within states, a skewed system that allows them to make $trillions and they want to control everything themselves. Capitalism has also given us Corporatism and the government working in "Public-Private Partnerships" which seems to be another way of describing Fascism.
Implementations of Marxism want to get people on the same level but, in practice, that means lowering everyone's standard of living except for the leaders who control everything.
Either way, there is a pull towards a Feudal system with the exalted at the top who own and control everything and the peasants at the bottom doing as they are told, or else.

A person can be a combination of the above, too.
We are at war for our freedom.

The fourth type are the brainwashed college grads from the "elite" colleges. It's all part of (their) plan.
