Marx's point of view, funnily enough, is the opposite of that. It's always
the non-Marxists who take a special interest (huh) in interest and want to
abolish or reform it. The Marx-influenced people don't consider interest as
a special problem, let alone as "evil"--they know that it's a necessary
element of capitalism and will go when capitalism goes, neigher earlier nor
later.

Maybe you should study people before you judge them.

Best regards
