Yes, progressivism is Marxist. Just not in the way that most people think. Communism is a proposed end-point for history that will occur when modern modes of production eventually erode all classes, borders, states, nations, cultures and religions. Since the world will be collectivized, we will share all labor and production. As we can clearly observe right now with liberal capitalism and globalization, all our social norms are collapsing as Marx predicted. Capitalism is constantly in crisis, socialism is popular again, gender is being erased through transgenderism, religion is plummeting, sexuality is fluid, marriage is dying, fertility rates are in hell, the list goes on.

This means that progressives, AKA the liberals and leftists who support all of these developments, really are fulfilling Marxism because they are driving the liberal system into implosion by embracing its worst consequences. It’s exactly as Marx predicted — the revolutionary self-abolition of capitalism, the dialectical step to socialism and eventual communism through the system’s contradictions. I have yet to see anyone refute this analysis since it perfectly aligns with Marxism. The true Marxists of our era are Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, AOC, and Nikita Dragun.
