I vote that you admit that both Marxism and liberal/progressive politics

whatever the code words du jour are, this fact is inescapable.
You want to not be associated with Marxism? Quit supporting its
central tenet: That the group has a right to violate the individual.

Are you seriously arguing that conservative politics, as commonly practiced,
does not do the same? As far as I can see, the only difference is what rights
they wish to violate.
