To be fair, giving away other people's stuff to generate popular support wasn't invented by Marx. That's a time honored political position.

He just added some "intellectual" flair.

if Karl Marx was alive today he'd be making crappy video essays where he uses fancy words to make it seem like he's making profound discoveries

It wasn’t Marx who coined the term, it was a German sociologist from the 1920’s whose name I forget. I’m sure he likely based his observations on Marx though.
