Marxism is entirely unconcerned with moral frameworks right? We have to bring those in ourselves? (hexbear.net)

Like diamat is just a method of scientific analysis. Any action compelled by that understanding is compelled by personal beliefs external to the diamat analysis? Is this right?

What is the moral principle? Utilitarianism? Virtue ethics? Like of course Marxists have a political goal but isn't Marxism just "actually societies evolve according to understandable principles and here's how that works out". Or is that just dialectical materialism, and Marx developed other ideas outside of diamat and they all get lumped into "Marxism"?
