Marxism prioritizes dialectical analysis over majority opinion

Also what the fuck even is this, this is illegible. Who fucking cares, you clearly don't know what you're talking about; are you saying that your imagined form of analysis you've named dialectical materialism is more meaningful than statistical facts showing widespread approval? That's nakedly really stupid, even if you're clearly an anticommunist it's feeble to try and hide it behind an absurdly thin veneer of Marxism. Just be honest and say you're a liberal, or start engaging with Michael Parenti's work.

Marxism emphasizes understanding the deeper class dynamics of society, not just surface-level opinions. Marx and Engels critiqued relying solely on immediate public sentiment because it can be shaped by ruling class ideology (eg., The German Ideology). A proletarian state requires scientific analysis of material conditions, not just popularity metrics. Insulting someone as "anti-communist" ignores Marxist principles of material critique over ad hominem attacks.
