Marx strongly believed in creating capitalism, stating that communism required an advanced capitalist system before it could be actualized. For this reason, Marxists like Lenin, Stalin and Mao wasted 100 years building capitalism up in the lands they ruled, subjugating their entire populations to capitalism's mass destruction, only for it to predictably never result in communism. See modern Russia and modern China and modern every other "communist" country - not an ounce of communism in sight.

Marxists are clearly strong adherents of a capitalist system, claiming they need to create capitalism and statism in order for both to magically 'wither away' at a later date, and yet somehow a lot of anarchists consider them radicals.

The Marxist-capitalist experiment was a miserable failure, so isn't it about time anarchists stopped enabling these proud capitalists and their double speak? They spent 100 years creating capitalism with nothing to show for it but permanent environmental destruction and billions of people forced to labor under the boot of billionaires.

We know now that Marxist-capitalists are no different from Objectivist-capitalists in practice. Both schools of capitalism exploit the poor and enrich the rich.

Just posted this to r/anarchy101 to stir the pot and get the 100% accurate concept of "Marxist-capitalism" into the anarchist discourse.

That sub is filled with faacists who debate with anarchists. I can barely stand talking to anarchists, but I'm drawing the line at civil discourse with open fascists.
