    They discuss class struggle, which is marxist

    Their emphasis on ‘institutions’ is anti-marxist

      Please elaborate how you believe a non-democratic take over of the ruling power (to establish socialism, or whatever) will lead to a better outcome for everyone or “majority”.

We’re assuming a functioning democracy here.
