This is reasonable because Marx is vastly more important than Hayek. You can't study any branch of the social sciences without engaging Marx in some capacity. Hayek is a secondary figure even in 20th century political/economic thought.

I graduated from Columbia knowing every single detail about Marx but never having heard the name Hayek.

@DevinGoure Okay, she studied lit. Hayek is not a literary writer and is such an unbelievably turgid writer
English
@DevinGoure I don't believe this because the left is obsessed with Hayek. Almost anyone else, sure but not Hayek

I did my undergrad at Oberlin College, the wokest of the woke, and during my senior year the main upper-level political theory seminar was on conservatism, with readings from Burke, Hayek, Oakeshott, de Maistre, Strauss, Scruton, and more.

@Sun_king97 @cowboy_postbop She is famously one of the more insane people on here
English
@cowboy_postbop She’s basically as clear sighted as a Twitter leftist can possibly get, she’s proven that repeatedly
English
she appears to be one of the very few people on this website who understands that her personal circumstances might be different than society writ large

Wait she was unemployed the entire time posting about how great the economy and job numbers are

over/under on anything about the New Caledonia/Kanak uprising, Ho Chi Minh's French education, Saionji Kimmochi, the '45 Trot Saigon commune, the presence of a late Qing eyewitness to the siege, the direct citation of its legacy in Yan'an & Shanghai?

@TheRealVarnVlog Is there a reason that Americans are so obsessed with crap they read in high school? This and the Great Gatsby make regularish appearances in the Twitter discourse.

I could always tell who was more serious about worker's history and the history of the US left by who told me Zinn's People's history was anything other than pop history.
Sam Haselby@samhaselby
Nobody in grad programs reads Zinn's People's History. It's a cartoon, just in negative form of triumphalist, exceptionalist history.

@neogyspandan @pensandpoison Life and Fate goes on random diatribes about Stalin crushing East German strikes. Great book but what the fuck are you talking about.
English
Ofcourse, soviet socialist realism is the logical endpoint of this. Stalin's writers' union mandated that every novel serve the revolution and the KGB even confiscated Grossman's Life and Fate in 1961 (taking every carbon copy and the typewriter ribbons) and Bulgakov died with his masterpiece unpublished. Western academics chose this same logic voluntarily and still cannot explain why their students stopped reading.
English
The death of literary culture began when professors stopped treating novels as works of art and started treating them as ideological evidence.

@rafkhach Could be worse. I feel I read Bifo(?) or Tiqquin once and his solution seemed to be have lots of friends.

@CliffordAsness @NickBurns @PhilWMagness Okay, who are the Marxists in business school? I really want to know about them
English
Asked to identify where his supposed 10% of US professors who are actual Marxists actually are and teach, @PhilWMagness, with the help of AI, comes up with: a Canadian university, at least two dead people, and David Harvey. I’m convinced!
Phil Magness@PhilWMagness
@NickBurns Hey @grok. Make a list of 25 self-identified Marxist professors in academia for this guy.

@AbstrahetsMisha That's being very very generous with dialectical.
English
Leftwt's understanding of jargon is like
Idealist = being naive
Dialectical = having nuance
Materialist = agreeing with me
Moralist = having emotions
Michae|@Plz_Relax_
a lot of "marxists" on here don't think dialectically at all

@LasgunSunflower @RotIdeologist @rskhm__ To be fair most popular liberalism pretends that is true as well.
English
@RotIdeologist @rskhm__ It feels like a lot of marxists unironicaply believe there's no such thing as liberal theory

@Dok845 He is still posting about Glen Greenwald. Jeez. Him and the fox make me so sad because if they didn't have the internet for 6 months in 2016 their life would be so much better.
