Especially in imperial countries where the kids have to deliberately go along with many wrong history lessons?
I don’t have kids, Matt Christman having one just makes me wonder how he and other Communist parents do it.

This is kinda nonsense to me, Marxist theory is strictly logical, Marx doesn’t make emotional or empathetic pleas in Das Kapital or something. Yes, you can be an empathetic communist to great effect, but I don’t think its even close to mandatory (and the proof is in how many shitty communists there have been historically, looking at you Beria). The whole point of Marxism is that its in the best interest of everyone, even the bourgeoisie, to apply Marxist theory. After all, if the bourgeoisie allows society to deteriorate their heads will be on platters.
Understanding Marxist theory is a result of logical steps but agreeing with Marxist theory comes from empathy with the working class
Difference between all the Wall St. dipshits that read Marx to better understand how to make more money and bourgeois class traitors
Humans live a pretty short lifespan, it’s way more in their interests to suppress a revolution until they can die of old age imo
While you’re right about Marxism being scientific, and not based in emotion, I think it’s important to ask, “Why would Marx care about any of this shit to develop such theory in the first place?” And I think any reasoning that didn’t somehow arrive at some conclusion that included empathy would be erroneous. I think that’s also true when asked about why any communist is a communist.
