Nobody is spooked by anything. Many (like me) have the opinion that Marxism is a trash ideology and so shit on the place where its ideas are traded the most as they're trading trash opinions.

This is just purely and demonstrably false. Not only it is wrong from a historical point of view, but it also ignores current political conversations in which "Leftists/Communists" are used as a scare tactic.

I see. What specific criticisms do you have for Marxism then?

Fair enough, i guess i also "fear" communism in a sense and believe that humanity must work to prevent ourselves from reaching such a state (at least the sort that is typical of it) but i don't think that's where much of the criticism on Lemmy stems from

I have a lot of criticisms, but I don't currently have the energy for a long debate. However, my main criticism is that Marxism is unnecessary as many good things have been achieved and can be achieved under a social democracy.

There's also the point on how Marxism is practically unachievable without collectivisation, which allows for the possibility of tyranny. Soft totalitarianism as i like to call it. It has gone wrong in the past and will probably continually do so.

Classic.

I genuinely don't. I have engaged in multiple debates about this stuff in the past though. I also outlined a couple of my criticisms, so if you would like to address those instead of trying to be snarky, that would be welcome

I'll just point out you called Marxism a trash ideology and then subsequently called it unnecessary because of an ideology that is almost inherently rooted in Marxism.

No snark in response tho

It's trash because of the second criticism i stated and others i have that i wasn't ready to type out.
