Pandering? Even people on the left dislike Marx. Communism is trash.

Educated people on the left often appreciate Marx. However, you are correct that more ignorant individuals that are not informed enough to distinguish between Marxism and Marxist-Leninism do not. Kinda like some are ignorant enough to think that America is still Capitalist...

Any pure ideology is trash. They're appealing because they make the world seem easier to understand, but, in practice, they universally fail to capture the complexity of a functioning society and inevitably fall apart.

Marx wrote a nice book about how capitalist economies function - how prices form, how profit is regulated, etc. - no one cares about Marx because of whatever you think communist or socialist ideology is. You should read people that you insist on having strong opinions on.

His thoughts lead to Lenin’s manifesto leading to Russia communist history. So his other books are overshadowed.

His thoughts also lead to Public Schools, Social Security, Medicare, Free Trade Agreements and the Equality of all People. His other books are not overshadowed by the actions of Lenin who disregarded them; rather, they have been proverbially burned by American propaganda.

Public school, social security, and Medicare suck. Marx was not responsible for "equality of all people".

He was also "not responsible for Lenin." Marx teaches that a socialist state may only be founded in a post-Capitalist society, and Lenin attempted to force Communism on a pre-Capitalist society through violence against the peasantry. Marx does, however, advocate for equality.

There is no such thing as a post capitalist society. That’s what Marx failed to understand. Capitalism (free trade and low restrictions) is the natural state of the economy, and has/will always be the most efficient
