“Marx was simply hired by elites to construct a new form of tyranny with a different name to exploit the masses.”
That’s exactly right. ‘A Communist Manifesto’ does not state a “scientific theory” as Xi claims, but rather it is an instruction manual for how would be tyrants can assume power by exploiting class divisions.
One is reminded of the Twilight Zone episode where an alien race offers mankind a book outlining how they will use their advanced science “To Serve Man”. Only trouble was, when they completed the translation they realized too late “it’s a cookbook!”.
Marx suckered the weak minded in with very little effort using a detailed document designed to coverup the intended purpose.
I have seen that episode of twilight zone several times. We get it on Netflix. Most plots of today’s sci fi are simply variations of many original stories on the TZ.
