This is hilariously wrong. Literally all of Marx’s writing is steeped in a language of justice and democracy. Marx just avoids explicitly making a moralism argument because that’s his one of his problems with utopian socialists. If anyone wants a good recent work on the democratic theory in Capital Volume I, the book-club on the discord and !books@hexbear.net is doing Marx’s Inferno this month. Marx is working in a deeply democratic tradition, a deeply moral one too, and those are exemplified and raised by the material backing he gives them in Capital and his other works. Capital is literally a work on the social hell that is capitalism, I mean jfc, this is just embarrassing for Robinson. And Marx constantly stressed that things were not inevitable, and warned against the determinism some later Marxists would engage in.
