Parmenides of YouTubes's video: Philosophical Flaws in Marxist Materialist Ideology Part 1 Historical Objections Responses

I'm going to do a series of videos. This was going to start with conflicts and divisions that are part of pan-African ideologies. However, I decided to start with Marxism/Scientific Socialism/Materialism. Before going into my issues with the development of materialism, I thought I would address historical objections to Marx and/or Engels that have been put forward by others and responded to by Marxists. That is to avoid the issues that come from my ideas not being original, as well as to get disagreements out of the way that might come from people misinterpreting my position based on what other thinkers have said on the issue. To avoid having to watch the whole video, if you are not interested in any analysis, here is a summary of what I'm not doing/my goals: 1) I'm not trying to place all blame on Engels. 2) I'm not trying to say Marx and Engels have a significant and/or definable deviation philosophically. 3) I'm not questioning Engels in terms of his intelligence. 4) I'm not trying to return to Hegelian philosophy or critiquing Marxism for the purpose of discrediting Marx's critique of political economy or to reject communism, generally. 5) I'm not saying Marx was really an idealist or that he was not a materialist. 1) I am saying Engels and other post-Marx Marxists, including Soviets, etc., are responsible for elevating particular ideas that are blatantly wrong philosophically and don't actually represent the core contributions and important theory of Marx. 2) I'm saying this fundamentally started with Marx, but can't say to what extent Marx (if hypothetically alive during that period) would have acted similarly/differently in terms of correcting philosophical mistakes, developing the ideas differently, and/or emphasizing different aspects of his own work -- although, I will say that I think it really can't be debated that he would have liked the focus to be on Das Kapital. 3) I am questioning Engels in terms of his ability to properly understand the philosophy - he was factually wrong - and he was the one who undeniably leaned into spreading that aspect - so he was either just mistaken or intentionally being deceptive. 4) I am trying to return to Hegel, but I'm doing so to get a greater understanding of Marxian political economy, emphasize the political economy, and develop a greater understanding and ability to apply the fundamentals of the theory to analysis as relevant today and historically. 5) I am saying, regardless of how Marx personally identified, viewed philosophy by the end of his life, etc., his important theoretical contributions were the result of Hegelian Idealism/Logic.
