There's no mystery at all why people (myself too) react this way.

Marx[ism] has been [mis]understood, [mis]applied, and used as a cloak for
incomprehensibly vast exercises in human stupidity at its worst for what,
a hundred years now?

Deleuze for only a few dozen.

Put another way, almost all of us have known idiots of one stripe or
another declaiming their idiocy under the banner of Marx [or progeny].

Very few of us under the banner of Deleuze.

Give it a few years!
