I was arguing with a self-proclaimed progressive the other day, and on every point he talked about achieving the perfect "classless" society, universal basic income, etc.
For some reason he hated the Marxist label, but I couldn't pin him down on why. I've discussed sociology and economics with people who describe themselves as Marxist, and it feels the same.
I don't want to come off as a bigot with my labels, so does anyone have any insight as to why a progressive might not want to identify as Marxist?
