When I am Weaker Than You, I ask you for Freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am Stronger than you, I take away your Freedom Because that is according to my principles.

I say it marxism just because that is a useful shortcut but we aren't dealing with "class struggle" like marx envisioned. He was basically debunked because the revolutions were never successful in the industrial west which is what he ranted against the most.

Marx's real gripe was always "I'm not in charge". Everything else is lampshading and rationalization.

We are dealing with marxism without marx. They kept his basic theological premise, that history is inevitably advancing toward utopia and any opposition is "evil" because it prolongs the suffering until the utopia is achieved. Of course that utopia has the intellectual academics in charge as absolutely powerful technocrats.

You can append an implied "unless it benefits us and/or harms our ideological opponents" to everything they say. They can't be reasoned with because they see "reason" as a tool for reinforcing the current hierarchy which is in the way of their utopian vision.
