Tldr Marxists believe in a classless, moneyless and stateless society bc they think that would be ~~utopia~~ an objectively morally superior system of government

Thanks for the correction @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml

No well read Marxist believes communism to be utopian in any way. They only see it as an objectively morally superior system of government that provides for its workers rather than providing workers for it's ruling class.

It would be. Shame they also advocate for unchecked violence to achieve that utopia, though.

Unlike the current unchecked violence to keep capitalism in place.

Oh, it's checked alright. Just not by people whose interests align with yours or mine.
