It’s economics, “boring” or “dry” kinda comes with the package
If you want sexy you can try Che Guevara or Max Stirner (lol good luck)
Do you mean Marxism-Leninism? Thats what most people mean when they say Marxism, but there are lots of us who appreciate Marx and disagree with the trajectory his namesake took.
If you want to explore classical Marxist ideas in an entertaining way, check out Michael Burns on YouTube. He used to run the channel Wisecrack and makes videos about philosophy, and he is a classical Marxist who talks a lot about Marx and Engels. That being said, these days you’re not going to find much discussion of Marx that doesn’t cover Marxism-Leninism in some way.
For clarity MLism was reverse engineered by Stalin to justify the violent oppression of the working class, it spread to other regimes that wanted to justify the same, but Lenin didn’t have a lot to do with it.
You can… read Marx? Or find a podcast about him?

I don’t mean Marxism-Leninism, I mean regular Marxism

Correct
There were still problems with Lenin imo but im just an anarchist, we all got killed or gulag’d
I heard Lenin decided to hold an election, didn’t like the results, and decided to switch to a one party state after the election.
