The problem is, Marxism was created over 100 years ago. I bet Karl Marx wouldn't agree to his own theorem for the world we live actually. It needs upgrades, and an other name and shouldn't be set in comparison with the systems which tried to be marxism / communism.

On what grounds do you think he wouldn't agree? Marxists since Marx have expanded on his ideas, like analysis of Imperialism, but Marxism is stronger than ever and consistently proved correct.

Smaller steps would be a good start, why not take a closer look at Portugal? A left government recreate the whole state in just a few years and save the country from being bankrupt. This wasn't Marxism, but it was a left wing party with really good ideas.

I don't see what this has to do with Marxism.

Well, the general form of Marxist ideology in the population is not so much. But some elements of this ideology are so strong that the Republican Party uses this model of discourse for its voters.

Have I finally met that unicorn of perfect ignorance for whom the "Trump Is a Leninist" thinkpieces were written for? I'm just dying to know what part of Marx is used by Republicans!

This article explains it better, although it is from 2017. Link

And the MAGAs are against big business, just like some of the Democrats.

I called it! Though I suppose it was plain enough by the time I came across it.

Faux-populist rhetoric is not a Marx thing and Magats are absolutely not opposed to big business. It's like Trump's only thing that he's a billionaire due to real estate and other related fields.

I had a premonition that you will one day drown taking a bath because you're too stupid to know which way is up.
