@Kyrie Eleison: I see you have neither read Marx nor understand him, if you identify being “woke” or Critical Race Theory or even the Green New Deal being in ANY WAY “Marxist” as you clearly intend it, which is to say “bad.” Even conservative economists will tell you that Marx was an excellent economic historian (indeed, that’s what I was taught by a conservative economist at Harvard). Marx was crap at understanding how people actually worked, and worse at predicting the future, but he identified some important points of stress in society with his class-based analysis.
And so-called “Cancel Culture” is best represented by the RIGHT wing these days, which does its best to eliminate anyone who disagrees with them.
Truth is, while Marx provides some interesting ways to examine societal issues, there has never been a Marxist political state in the history of the world, despite the claims of the USSR and China.
