    My friend, I am not a communist.

    But no, Marxism is absolutely not designed that way. Explicitly so.

        I would recommend reading Marx, and maybe some scholars on the subject, as I am not that. The Communist Manifesto is very short, and does a good job explaining what it is in layman’s terms.

        In the most basic terms, Marxism states that the means of production should be owned by the people who actually do the work. That there should not be a division between the people who make the stuff, and the people who own the machines that make the stuff.

        In a real Marxist state (if even possible), there would be no class. There would be no real mechanism for someone to gain power over another.

          Great that is what I thought.

          So it provides, absolutely no control over those making decisions abusing that power power for personal gain. In fact even less so though capitalism…
