> The original Marxist style communist revolution is what is happening in the US right now

Having read the communist manifesto, I'd say what's happening in the US right now is the sort of thing Marx was complaining about, not what he was in favour of.

The only similarities I see are that Marx would approve of women's liberation over the last century. But my sense is that's not what you meant by "right now".

Marx was anarchic, sure, but he was *actually* anarchic and viewed corporations as the exact same kind of problem as states, so tech bros saying "I'm an anarcho-capitalist" are who Marx would have chosen to put up against the wall first when the revolution comes.
