If I'm wrong, explain. I very clearly explained exactly why you're going against Marxism to the point of invalidating it as Socialism.

Secondly, even if we only accept Marx alone, and ignore Engels, Lenin, every other Marxist who has expanded upon and contextualized Marxism (at which point we move from materialism to idealism, dogmatism), there is nothing Marx wrote that implies "beaurocracy" constitutes a class! The "administration of things" is done via *central planning and public ownership," and you cannot do so without managers! You even admitted to only reading "a bit" of Marx, and never once could explain why direct quotations that ran counter to your claims don't matter.

Marx's texts are not "sacred." We keep what we can test and verify, and toss what we can't. You haven't made a proper case for tossing aspects of Marxism, and in fact in the Rocker article, you showcase endorsement for what History proved wrong! Your reply to direct quotations disproving you? Ignore them and call me a dogmatist. That's not how we have constructive conversations, that's refusing to engage with theory you haven't made a case for ignoring!

Finally, you resort to gendered attacks. I have no idea what gender or sex you are, you don't list your pronouns nor would I have any way of otherwise knowing. That's a thought-terminating cliché that avoids the conversation. I am explaining Marxism to an Anarchist that displayed a lack of understanding of Marxism, at any other point you could have disengaged, but instead chose to resort to personal attacks the whole way through.

The good thing is that your comment string is useful for anyone walking in here to see an example of someone arguing in bad-faith.
