Why marxism is demonized so much?

@Azrael2 I would argue that humans are more of a social species than an individualistic one.

@ViciDraco they still need to have a sense of being their own person

@Azrael2 but economics isn't required for that. A number of tribes have been found that do not have concepts of private property.

The problem is we've been trained to identify who we are by what we have and what work we do. The greatest tragedy of our age is that economics was supposed to be a tool to serve humans but it has turned out that humans have become slaves to economy. We don't need stuff to be individuals. We don't need jobs to be individuals. But people today are so out of touch with people, that we know no other way.

I was talking about it from a psychological perspective, I should've made that clear 😅 @ViciDraco I'm not saying that an individualistic society is any better than a communistic society. Both have seen many successes and downfalls and there's a middle ground that should be found:
