Far from being Marxists, though, most of them are at worst soulless technocrats happy to read from any script they think is good for their institution’s PR, and at best radical liberals whose vision is not of a classless society but of a society in which the top slots in the class hierarchy are apportioned in a demographically fair way between different races, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities, and so on. They don’t want those “major corporations” to be nationalized and put under workers control, for example — they want more black and female CEOs.
✏️ Just a quick reality check when people might claim that Marxists or socialists are in power more… that’s not who’s in power.

At best they’re people that want more fairness and justice and diversity, but being socialist would mean wanting means of production to be in the people’s hands.. and for more state public goods and services.
