"Yeah I've read some Marx. Which works? Uh...the communist manifesto? That's the one where he talks about a utopian society where everyone is equal, right?"
People speak so confidently about what communists believe, and will lie about what they've read to try and hide the fact that they're working entirely off vibes and propaganda.
How to tell people you haven't read theory without telling people you haven't read theory

The amount of libs anarchist-washing Marx is far too high, they see "stateless" and immediately think it means a bunch of people living in communes
Stateless means no government right?
State and Revolution, what's that? That book I haven't read but presume says that the state is Good, Actually?
It's so fucking frustrating.
10 out of 10 libs, and unfortunely a huge chunk of the "left", don't know the emphasis on production by marxism and are mindblown when i mention it.
