Marx was pro-capitalist and pro-free trade. He believed capitalism to be the most revolutionary force in human history, sweeping away centuries of rotten traditions, like religion and family.

No it's not a fantasy that failed. USSR (State Capitalism) didn't work because Capitalism, in it's liberal version was in an expansion phase. You cannot force history. Karl Kautsky, who was Engels pupil, and compiled theories on surplus value from Marx, heavily criticized Lenin because he wanted to have communism in an archaic (1917 russia) country.
Regarding, again, historical materialism, Capitalism can only happen when it reach it's internal contradictions. Which it has, by the way. For those who don't believe it, and say, i am rambling, reminder that without fictitious credit (money printing), we would most likely be in a dramatic, impossible to solve, crisis. Fictitious credit only delayed it, but we are entering an interesting phase were people will not want fictitious credit anymore, but real asset instead, so basically a phase were fictitious credit crumble. It might not be obvious at all, but we might have entered Capitalism final crisis.

When you are in your early 20s, like you probably are, each year is an eternity. However, modes of productions are social relationships that can last millennias. See antique slavery.

Nothing is needed to be spread. People will hang on desperately to political economy. Facing the failure of late stage Capitalism, people will want to try fascism, socialism (state Capitalism), whatever. Political economy is doomed. Nothing can solve the tendency of the rate of profit. It is over. You just don't know it yet, that's all.

It’s shocking that the people most enamoured with Darwin are almost always people who have their ideas refuted by evolution. Both Marxists in the past and radlibs now pretend that evolution does not support racial self interest conceptually. It’s even worse that atheists us it as some kind of basis for their own worldview despite Darwin mentioning God numerous times throughout On The Origin Of Species.

But in our pursuance of peace, we've let the powerful walk on us and take over our countries.

I just said it's shit, but it's much less shit than Marxism, and unlike Marxism it can at least leave dead paradigms behind.
Current Marxist "economists" are only trying to prove why a 150 year old thesis on linen production is somehow still applicable to information era economics. Theyre stuck in a dead end and they cant let go of it. It's why marxism is just a pseudo-science.
And modern economists can at least admit that there's more to the world than just economics; marxists cannot fathom that there's anything beyond materialism.

Plenty of commie academics got cushy jobs, so i dont see how that's the case.
Economics is really the only field where Marx is just seen as a dead end, he's still taught in sociology as a foundational figure with Weber, literature studies with Freud, gender shit, philosophy, history, etc.
It's only economics where he's seen as outdated. Could this be a capitalist conspiracy, or is his economics just no longer relevant?

Fascism is Capitalism. It is a mode of production based on the meeting of the workers, who don't own any means of production, and are called the working class, with the means of production, owned by the owners of the means of production, called the Capitalists. Fascism, nazism, is Capitalism with nice uniform, spectacular speeches, wage labor, a State. It is inside the society of the spectacle. In the spectacle frame.

In fact, there are Marxist economists right now; theyre not blacklisted, theyre not targeted for assassination, theyre not being fired from their departments. It's just that theyre a minority because theyre just stuck on trying to fix predictions and equations that others have just dismissed as being false.

Marx actually barely mentions it, beyond really superficial and vague aphorisms like "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" or "man can hunt in the morning, raise cattle in the evening, philosophize in the evening" etc.
You can see that Marx was really scared of actually predicting what it'd look like, because he'd realize just how juvenile and unreachable this world would really be, and how he never really managed to exorcize the ghost of utopianism.

I believe Engels even said the positive content of communism as a goal doesn't exist, so you can only speak about it like negative theology. Nevertheless Marx did indulge in speculation on it as did Trotsky and others. Communists will never say exactly how much speculation is strictly illicit and why. They're excessively slippery on this point. Fighting for a phantasm that they are forbidden to try to describe. Wild!

Huterrites are not communist because they are small scale religious communes/ ethnostates. They are small scale religious communes/ethnostates, because they are communists.

Everything in Marx is defined in terms of social relations. People are used to thinking about e.g., ownership as a person-object relation when in reality it is a person-person relation.

People don't really understand production this way anymore and that's all that was being implied. Production can come from a single individual. Software development, for example, can be handled by a single individual. A single person can run their own business, alone, from the other side of the planet, and be profitable. They can exclusively develop their own apps, not owned by anyone else other than themselves. Complex organizations are no longer necessary for all kinds of production.

As I said, those people are not leftists. Leftism is a materialist ideology that rejects capitalism and private property. Radical liberalism is the opposite. The strategy of the ruling class is to elevate radlibs and deplatform the politically incorrect, thereby magnifying cultural antagonism within the proletariat. The only reason to do it that way instead of the reverse is that the majority of the proletariat are socially moderate-to-conservative with limited sympathy for 'woke' causes.

In Romania and surely other commie nations the intelligence guys were picked from among the smartest, they usually measured that by school grades - if your average GPA was in the top and you also knew at least two foreign languages you were selected.

Now the same guys after communism fell told us how things work - let's take Comecon - the principle was of mutual aid and is what allowed this superstate structure early on to work and grow.. reality is that every single representative there was sent with the specific purpose of generating revenues for his country and deceive as much as possible, example import stuff from Germans and sell it to Ukraine lying that's from own production, the end game was to obtain a foreign currency surplus.. every single country did this and Marxist dogma and ideology mattered little among them.
