Most of these Marxist activists have never read Marx....likely the Marcist teachers in academia never read Marx either....certainly they have never experienced living in the utopian Marxist countries...they simply regurgitate tired old slogans and most are themselves members of the silver spooned bourgeoisie and petit bourgeoisie or the lumpenproletariat ....few if any are members of the blue collared proletariat or of the peasantry with dirt beneath their finger nails....they have at least  that in common with Marx who never did a day's physical work in his life, had no dirt beneath his finger nails and like the modern Marxist he lived off other people's money , Engels in his case--the parental costs of most Canadian students in university is  between$20-30,000 per year not to mention the $20,000 per year that tax payers pay to subsidize each year; the thanks the tax payers get is black clad masked rioters running amok destroying public and private property and preventing free speech.
