1) Love your channel. Couple notes about the video: You said Marxism talks about workers "not [being] paid full value of her work". Marx didn't believe workers could be paid the full value of their work or that such a thing exists because it is an impossible thing to calculate

2) work has no intrinsic monetary value. Tabby says "Communism is the inevitable outcome of Marxism" - Marxism is a system of analysis, Communism is the "inevitable" result of class antagonism and worker's relation to Capital. Marxism won't do anything. Sorry for being nitpicky,
Lindsay had originally written that "Marxism is not the same as communism" for the reason you say. I had Tabby object because I think being a Marxist without being a communist is incoherent,

but yes within the theory it'd be more correct to say communism is the inevitable outcome of capitalism.

There are plenty of people who produce marxist analysis while being enthusiastic capitalists hostile to even the mildest actual socialism: they’re mostly tenured academics with vacation homes and housekeepers. Capitalism just eats it all and lets you believe and do anything.
