Well of course I haven't read Marx. Communism's evil, duh.
I mean the logic isn't entirely wrong... though at least familiarize with snippits. I mean I don't have to read Mein Kamph to say Naziism is evil.
Of course, there is a huge difference, even in snippits and small amounts of information it's quite clear that all nazi followers, support racism.
While modern marxists do not call for violence etc... and specifically is calling for changing of things that, are not physical traits that require bloodshed.
your (and many people's) assumptions about modern marxists shows how unrepresentative and distorting these snippets are, in a way that i often find difficult to even articulate. similarly with nazism: if you correctly identified it to be evil and want to know how to defeat it, you have to understand it.
or blindly trust the people fighting them, but thats an obvious slippery slope, which is why marxists insist so much on not letting yourself be informed by just the few pieces that fall through the cracks of the system and read theory.
Marxism and Marxists have always called for revolution. Reformist Marxism is considered a deviation from Marx, just like those who wish to remove Dialectical and Historical Materialism from the Economic analysis of Marx are considered.
