What you're describing is Fascism, not Marxism. Marxism theoretically is about government serving the people - the workers. In classical Marxist thought, the "old" government serves the entrenched power interests and must be overthrown by a workers' revolution, at which point a workers' government is installed to serve the workers' interests.

The problem is that classical Marxism doesn't work. What seems good in theory has consistently failed in practice. The workers overthrow the old government that served the entrenched power interests and install a government that - with the power interests destroyed by revolution - instead fills the power vacuum itself and then serves its own interests. The "workers' governments" inevitably and invariably evolve into repressive totalitarian regimes more interested in their own survival than in the welfare of the people that they were intended to serve.

It's not that Marxism is slavery. It's that Marxism invariably fails, and slavery evolves from that failure.

"Robbins’s claim fails because the Hobbs Act does not apply when the National Government is the intended beneficiary of the allegedly extortionate acts."
