Marxism is certainly closely related to morality, especially revolutionary Marxism, as almost all revolutionary ideologies stem from the ontological pursuit of "unconditional human liberation". However, here comes the "but", it is precisely this pursuit that prevents Marxism from using "moral argumentation". Marxists simply cannot be "good people in a secular sense" while promoting "the liberation of all mankind". Marxism is breaking the ideology that has deeply ingrained itself into human conditioning in a society or even an era. For example, in the case of "piracy", almost all Marxists would support "the use of piracy by the poor or geeks who want to break the copyright barriers of large companies". But on the other hand, people deeply influenced by the ideology of "contract fetishism" would equate the use of piracy withremoved, robbery, and murder. In such a situation, how can you use moral argumentation? It is simply impossible for you to do so. The most powerful aspect of ideology is its ability to de-ideologize itself. It dresses itself up as a natural, spontaneous, and human moral principle
