Your occasional reminder that a belief in oppressor and oppressed groups and oppressive systems that need to be overthrown, quite possibly by revolution if the oppressors will not yield up their power does not belong to Marxism.

Got it, so the extra commentary about oppressor-oppressed dynamics is just gravy, Marx and Engel's spitballing poured over an anti-capitalist framework?

People are forever finding oppressed and oppressor groups and revolting against them to make a better world. The question is whether or not they are right in their perception. For Marx class was the system of oppression and capitalism the tool by which it oppressed.

Ahh so Marxism is the overlay of anti-capitalism on the oppressor-oppressed dynamic. Thank you for the edification!

I would modify that as authoritarian anti-capitalism to differentiate it from anarchism which is (for most forms) also anti-capitalist.
