How are you identifying the Marxists?

The ones that spout Marxist ideas.
Identifying as African-American Lesbian who is identifying as a Gay Man and a Gay Journalist
Pronouns: what/me/worry

A while back Bill was calling Kamala Harris a Marxist. I think it's simply that he looks around for the most ridiculous things he can find to say just to stir things up.
Yes. Because "equity". That's a Marxist doctrine. Equal outcome vs equal opportunity.

Yes. I stand with Binger and Bernie. Tax the rich, redistribute to poor. Implement UBI.

Do you have any examples in particular that demonstrate this, and that triggered your ire?

It's not a particularly Marxist idea though some Marxist may have used the words. Serious Marxists sometimes adopt a view to gain popularity. The communist party in the US was an important supporter of racial civil rights. That does not mean civil rights is Marxism.

A couple of fragments of speech saying equity can be an important consideration does not explain important how or in what context. Nobody, no matter how far left, wants everybody to be the same. No Marxist wants that. They want government ownership of the means of production.

You forgot about leaving the border open and flooding the country with third world poverty. Perhaps your man Barry Obama could afford to give up one of his four mansions, or even Bernie could give up one of his? Like communism, liberalism means giving away other people's land, property, and money, but never your own.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
