The down votes indicate that. I'm not really understanding so I'm ready to just accept the hate and move on. 🤷
It's because it's very reductive and weird to look at this one-line definition and ask if you're a Marxist. You're not automatically Christian just because you like giving to the poor and you saw on Wikipedia that Christianity gives to the poor, there's a lot more to it. You're a Marxist if you look up Marx's theory and decide you agree with all (maybe most) of it. There's a spectrum greater than not liking CEOs making money before asking if you're a Marxist, a Communist, or just a Libertarian.
Don't let that stop you if you want to learn more about it to see if you still like it.
