I have to say while I don’t agree with every tenet of Marxism. There were times when Marxists were among the few groups standing up for something that was right. I believe CPUSA was one of the few political parties in this country to condemn lynching out right for example. And in the Russian empire, I just got done doing some research on how the city of Kharkiv avoided a pogrom in large part due to a militia of socialists.
