Marx considered profits to be theft by capitalists from their workers. He believed labor alone creates value so workers should get all the profits from their labor and the capitalists should get none. His mind was too weak to grasp the idea that capital is stored labor.
The Democrat party hates profits, too. At least seven Democrat presidential candidates have proposed raising the corporate income tax rate and if the American people would let them, the party would tax away all profits. Non-profits are saintly in their fevered imagination; for-profit companies are the spawn of Satan.
