People have been overwhelmed recently with certain ideas. Mainly an assortment of arbitrary ethical constructs that they think should be installed into the government somehow.
The main premise of 'Marxism' is that exploitation is bad and that capitalism causes exploitation.
But almost has a very sophisticated concept beyond that, it seems. Nor do they seem have any idea how to solve that problem. Some people seem to think that by shutting on white people they will somehow produce a socialist utopia. That is, of course, absurd. Nobody thinks Haiti is a socialist utopia. But amazingly people really have gone that insane.
The other funny thing about Marxism is that it doesn't seem to be able to define exactly what exploitation is or what is wrong with it. Most people would say that the feudal serfdom that occurred prior to capitalism involved more exploitation than capitalism...but if you actually research about the life of serfs or even indeed the African slaves you will find that overall they were happy with their situation. Indeed slaves tend to dislike being freed and report that they preferred slavery. The majority of humans actually prefer the security and simplicity of slavery...this is a thing that Marxists and liberals alike fail to understand.
Indeed the human being is a lifeform...and our method of survival is via mass cooperation and specialization. We are adapted to a survival strategy very similar to ants or bees.. is the marxist offended by the ant queen exploiting her workers? Of course not...that is just what ants do. And that is what humans do as well...politics is just a product of our natural instinct just as much as the ant. The only complicating factor is that technology changes much more rapidly than our instincts.
