If you go down to that thread you'll see a couple of them quote Marx to own the Marxists and view capitalism-communism as some sort of dichotomy rather than a dialectical process of evolution.
Its absolutely crucial to understand dialectical thinking that is the foundation of Marxist theory. Otherwise you can very easily slide onto liberal brain poison like those guys, or V*ushites
Right on. It's taken me so much studying to finally (kinda) understand this concept. Marx did more than just critique the system and say "smash it," it's much more scientific than that. Capitalism is a natural evolution and improvement over feudalism.
Honestly the neolibs in the screenshot aren't even that far off Marxist analysis, seeing capitalism as a precursor to communism.
EDIT: Replies are smarter & more educated than me lol
eh, i still say smash it. idk if capitalism is really necessary or not. that kinda feels too deterministic like we're living in the only society we could be.
Notably this is also the view of late Marx. He began to become increasingly convinced (by studying indigenous social constructions, no less) that it was not ordained that society needs to pass through capitalism in order to achieve communism.

This is super interesting thank you
I'll cop to not reading enough Marx, but describing historical developments as "natural" seems to do a disservice to materialism.
Nah that sounds about right, I'll def also cop to having read not enough Marx.
