\>>>*Marx wrote word soup that could be interpreted by anyone as anything.* Yep, Marx’s writing style was notoriously dense. And different schools of Marxists have interpreted him in very different ways (e.g., Soviet Marxism, Western Marxism, anarcho-Marxists, etc.) \>>>*Also, another dude finished Marx's book.* Yep, Marx only published the first volume of Das Kapita, but died before his other 2 planned volumes. His friend Friedrich Engels edited Marx’s notes and drafts, publishing those 2 volumes + compiled Theories of Surplus Value. \>>>*Also, Marx didn't come up with this idea, communal/tribal/group think has been around a long time.* Also, true. The idea of shared property, communal living, or collective ownership long predates Marx. Ancient tribal societies often practiced communal property. Early Christian communities shared possessions. Utopian socialists like Charles Fourier and Robert Owen promoted communal living decades before Marx. etc.
