Can you explain as to why you do not follow an explicitly Marxist analysis of our modern world? And if I’m allowed two questions, how would your idea of a left wing media fight the American media’s propaganda model while still maintaining nuance?

In This article you make several statements about Marxism, and Marxist implementations using evidence from Bakunin, a man who thought Marx was trying to further a Jewish plot to control the proletarian revolution with "his blood sucking race" as Bakunin seems to think. In this article you also say

The bad part of Marxism is not the part that says workers should cease to be exploited, but the part about the “dictatorship of the proletariat.”

This quote is a complete misinterpretation and perversion of Marxist analysis. In the Marxian sense, dictatorship means the total control of the state apparatus not the implementation of a dictatorship in the modern sense of the world. By Marx's definition modern day America is a "dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie" as the state is a construct to alleviate class conflict and rule disputes in favor of the controlling class. In the Marxian sense, the "dictatorship of the Proletariat" would be the most true and free form of democracy in human history. So to rephrase my question with the above context, why do you mislabel the Marxist form of the "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" and will you continue to do so?
