Not humanist? Marxism has always been based on humanism. It’s the belief that individuals are born good but are corrupted by the institutional capitalist machinery. Cultural Marxism is the symbolic belief that with the “right” type of enlightened individuals, we can return to the Garden of Eden and remake man devoid of his structural flaws. All totalitarian ideologies are humanistic parasites that follow quasi-religious substructures...the belief that “right” people with the “right” knowledge can remake the fundamental nature of mankind. This is why it is so fanatical and so dangerous; it adherents follow it with the zeal of any religious cult fanatic.
And kill as many of those "corrupted" individuals as necessary till society reaches utopia - even if only the Marxist leaders are left alive! Nothing but inhumanity calling itself humanism. Only a fool would accept their twisted terminology.
Charles Ponzi claimed that his system was about 'financial investment' and Karl Marx claimed that his system was about 'humanity.'
Never the less, as history has labeled Ponzi's system a "criminal financial scheme," it should label Marx's system a "violent totalitarian scheme" - and not a "humanistic" political movement/system.
