You know he wrote a book specifically attacking utopian communist projects, called Socialism: Scientific and Utopian. This should tell you everything else you think you know in the subject was just some guy making shit up to stop you from actually educating yourself.

You have to be an actual idiot to treat this subpar philosopher as some prophet and crappy works as the gospel. They hold ZERO legitimacy. He can claim that communism was not a utopia all he wants, but it’s literally an idealized fantasy of what a perfect society looks like, that’s what a utopia is by definition.

My point is you have no idea what communists are trying to achieve or have achieved. Also he was an economist lol.

You don’t have any basis for this claim besides the fact you’re mad that I’m openly critical of Marx and this shitty ideology. If that was the case then you would’ve provided your case, but you haven’t and you probably won’t. Communism is very much a utopia no matter how much you twist it. It’s fits the definition to a T. Marx pretending his utopia isn’t a utopia and then going to attack other people for their utopias is like a closeted homosexual denying their sexuality and being homophobic to cope with their reality.
He was both

If you’re calling marxists utopian, you have literally no idea what your talking about, and are just guessing at what is in that book.
