Your view of equity is pretty narrow. There are loads of Non-marxists across the spectrum of political leaning and communitarian to libertarian that support equity of opportunity provided by educational access.

People who disagree with you aren't universally Marxists, though people with Marxists philosophy may also disagree with you.

With which part do you disagree?

Your usage of "marxist" to describe the people who push for equal outcome to the detriment of everything else.

Its just a label that is pretty universally applied to people with that mindset.

I have lived under communist governments. It is what it is, even if you refuse the label.

People are innately different. Marxism, in all iterations, has always been about blaming the different outcomes on some narrative of oppression, be it class or race.

While equal opportunity is great, equal outcome is a stupid and bad idea which should be opposed, lest we shackle ourselves to the lowest common denominator.

To avoid distractions I would therefore prefer a better label than "Marxist" that doesn't come with all the historical baggage, and is more precise.
