"So, the ONLY person defending Marx in this thread is YOU!"

And so you are. No "lies" on my part.

I despise Marx and you know it.

Of course I do, which is why, in the very same post, I explicitly noted that you were not defending marxism as an ideology, or marxism in general, or Marx in general. I carefully noted the one point on which you DO agree with Marx, that evolution supports communism (though you won't say how).

And I never made any such claim that I believed "Marx was correct about the relationship between communism and evolution".

Oh, puh-lease. You may not have put it in that formulation, but you have repeated, for example, the mantra (paraphasing from memory) "how can evolution support conservatism when it supports marxism?" across multiple long threads.

Now, just maybe you don't really believe that Marx was justified in claiming that darwinian evolution somehow supports his historical and economic theories, but you have put forward this suggestion in so many different forms and so persistently that either you DO agree with Marx (on this particular point) or you are willingly putting forward a fallacious or "strawman" argument even though you don't. Until such time as you withdraw this fallacious argument I am certainly entitled to infer that you do agree with Marx (on this point) for this is a clear implication of your arguments (unless they are disengenuous).
