Real Marxists know Marx didn't morally condemn the rich. He wanted the workers to take hold of the productive forces created under capitalism and organize it under a rational basis.

Yup. The great issue with capitalism, is that it wasn't formally designed to enrich society as a whole. It merely is an upgraded iteration of feudalism. You can give a pig a top hat and monocle, but it is still a pig.

We will need a new Constitution, one built to acknowledge that Economics is power. The framers addressed politics and violence, but overlooked the fundamental impact that money has on society. Floors and ceilings on wealth should be implemented, so that the likes of Musk or Trump cannot exist.

that's why it's ML, Marxist Leninism, and not just Marxism

[–] henry1917@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What are you trying to say? I think Lenin had useful insights and strategies, but Marxism is a bit broader.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not saying anything lmao they call themselves ML and not just Marxists for this reason

[–] henry1917@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You mean Stalinists call themselves ML? For what reason?

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 0 points 9 months ago

Rationalism sprinkled with authoritarianism, brutality and famine?

Lenin was a murderous brutal dictator.
