    The problem is trying to group vastly different ideologies such as Marxism and anarchy as one “left”. You can’t reduce political/social ideologies to a one-dimensional slider. Maybe if you project them on an axis that represents some “issue” they might fall close to each other, but they can also be at the opposite ends depending on how you choose that axis.

      Marx was pretty anarchist compared to most people these days who call themselves marxists.

        Most people who call themselves Marxists haven’t read more than quotes of his work.
