What would you say is one of the most misunderstood things about it?

They don't understand that Marx actually appreciated capitalism quite a bit. He had studied Adam Smith and he credited capitalism with besting feudalism and creating material gain far in excess of what came before it. However, he thought it was more of a transitionary stage on the way to communism, because he thought the inevitable end of capitalism was it turning on itself. I think a lot of Marxists think that he believed capitalism to be inherently evil, rather than a stop-on-the-road, so to speak. 

To answer the how so, you can be Irish-Catholic from Boston, Chicago, Ohio, whatever. And it doesn't mean you actually hit up mass every day. It's kind of a cultural thing.

Most jews identify both nationally and locally. I.e., I'm an American Jew from the Bay Area. I don't think I've met many jews at all who don't identify with their country. I suppose that could be an age thing. Some older Jews have particular issues with the countries where they came from and how they and their families were treated because of their heritage. So that might be a contributing factor to folks in your circles.

(In some cases, there are social histories that have made jewish folks an "other," so I suppose that could contribute)

Right on Que😂😂.  AntiFro comes in and shows why he is considered so radical and so far from realty- and validates why teachers are so fucked up. 
I am sure do enjoy talking to second graders about sex  And their bodies.  You call it progress.  In reality it’s pedophile. . 

you really are one sick SOB. You- and your tribe are everything wrong in this world. 

Two ways to answer that...

One is that most people who claim an ideology are doing it as identity, and don't know anything about it. I.e. someone wants to claim to be a "Marxist" because it's fashionable and edgy and so they only gain a cursory understanding of it. In short, like a *lot* of beliefs, they're pretty much poseurs.

They are Marxists because they are idealists and think that somehow they'd have much better lives if only the government would give them the rich peoples' money.

However if you dig into it, I'd say one major misunderstanding is this:

Not sure do you put out a questionnaire to find things out

like do they believe in God or do you just stick to sex
