Actually, I am from Trier in Germany, where Karl Marx was born. Although in the US he’s mostly known exclusively (and wrongly) as the founder of communism, in Europe his ideas have mostly led to the creation of social democratic parties, which brought considerable wealth to many countries here, in the form of social-economics (Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, France, etc.). So Marx should be considered and lauded as an important philosopher. Naturally, his image has been hijacked eg by communist Russia, with which he probably wouldn’t have agreed himself.
.ml completely despises social democracy because “it only alienates the workers and postpones the Revolution”, kinda like Marx at the end of his life.
What doesn’t change the fact that social democracy was built from Marx’s ideas, and brought unprecedented levels of prosperity to a large share of the world.

If you think tankies care about defending democratic socialism then you are poorly informed.
Idk they seem pretty enthusiastic.
Then I assume based on your enthusiasm here, you have to be too.
Tbh the last country he would think of an revolution was Russia
