re: #14 dog philosopher

the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marx; especially : a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society

it really annoys me when ignorant people like yourself decide to re-define words as you please

Not so incidentally, we could use a bit more of the labor theory of value in the US, and an acknowledgement that class struggle is real and the plutocrats are presently winning the class war.

However, dictatorship of the proletariat can be consigned to the list of history’s all-time failures, and dialectical materialism seems useless.

So the verdict for Marx is a mixed bag, as usual.
