Am I not allowed to make a joke? Your point was that since Marx dissavowed some self-proclaimed Marxists during his lifetime, that those that followed him and took on the moniker must also not understand his ideas. You have to admit this is silly and not logically supported, right? That's like saying burgers are chicken sandwiches, because both have meat in buns.
You are allowed. You overshot and now I don't want to engage anymore. If you want to discuss, adjust your tone, next time.
That seems like sarcasm not bad faith, there is a difference.
They misrepresented my point. Enough that I don't care to continue.
Marx denouncing dogmatism meaning Marx hates MLs is a really incorrect point. You'd have to think MLs are dogmatists to believe it.
I didn't claim Marx denounced dogmatism.
That is what you are referring to though when you talk about Marx not being a Marxist.
