Morals are not human desires though, they are societal codification of avoidance of pain, be it emotional or physical.

Avoidance of pain and self preservation is not a human desire?

morals are different, as they are not an explanation of phenomena, but rather production of human empathy,

What evidence is there to prove that morals are a product of human empathy? Is the moral outrage of some Muslims against women not wearing burkas a product of their empathy?

and I doubt they could be shed as easily or that they ever should.

More accurately, your desire is that morality should exist. Communism will abolish moral thinking, religion, economics and all other ideologies.

You posted a polemic that criticizes the tactics of the Dutch-German leftcommunists. Can you explain how it is relevant here?

Marx is not a terrible writer. He is very precise and has an incredible economy with words. He’s also not an economist, he basically said economics is an ideology. In Capital he showed how the categories of political economy like money, profit, wages, value etc all arise from social relations between people, while economics studies these as though they are facts of nature.

I would really suggest putting in the effort to read Marx, it is entirely worthwhile IF you are genuinely interested in communism. It’s really not that difficult. It may be boring, but you need to put effort into it and engage with the text.
