I don't agree with a lot of things from Marxism or the diverse different forms of communism in general, but that doesn't mean I believe that Marxism or many other forms of communism is one in the same thing as Lenninism or the forms of "socialism" that came out of Lenninism (Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism, Titoism, Juche, etc.) In fact on an even larger ideological scale, I have found myself explaining to right wingers that just because Marx took inspiration from Hegel dosen't make Hegel by extension communist himself, but Hegel is instead the root of modern political ideologies Left, Right, and Center.
So much of political thought is focused on re-fighting the 20th Century. What advanced societies have now is an imagination crisis, an inability to articulate what a better future even looks like--even as technology changes production and relationships! What are your thoughts on this?
Evil how? Communism is a stateless, classless, and moneyless society. It has never been tested on a large scale, and thus you have no proof on how "evil" it is.

Thank you for your service! It must have been a challenge!
Marxism is when you intend to establish Communism after Socialism.

You forgot moneyless. Communism doesn’t have money. Things are given freely to those who need it by those who create them.
And the internet enables this process to a degree Marx couldn’t even have conceived of!

Is the welfare state a “good idea” in your view?
No.
Evil.
