    Marxists do hate Markets though, that’s part of why Marx advocated for abolition of Money. Over time, of course, but that’s the entire point of Labor-Vouchers.

        Sort of. Unlike Money, Labor Vouchers are destroyed upon first use, as I already pointed out. They still act much the same way, as a unit of exchange, just without the ability to accumulate off of transactions.

        Marx spent much of his time talking about the Tendency for the Rate of Profit to Fall, issues with the Money commodity, consumerism, and more. Marx liked Capitalism over Feudalism, and Socialist markets over Capitalist ones, but ultimately he did advocate for abolition of Markets, in the traditional sense.

            Marxists are indeed characterized by generally accepting what Marx said. Additionally, being anti-Market isn’t exactly something that “obviously doesn’t work out,” no Socialist state has developed to that level yet.
