Whether I'll ever write again remains uncertain, but meanwhile I'm seeing where this other road takes me. youtube.com/watch?v=Zk3rGY…

@RichEllefritz It would be fun if you took English lessons. You'd be able to make sense of my first post up there!

Marx kinda ruined economics, politics, and philosophy as professional academic fields. Ever since he jumped in and showed that dutifully-pursued they lead to revolution, the three were gelded. Schools now do weird contortions to avoid him. Only sociology remains a little brave.

@CredenceClearoj The revolution would be required for the alignment between means of production and relations of production. Further revolutions would be necessitated by further realignments.

@RodericDay This isn't something you could possibly generalize unless by "revolution" you just mean progression. Otherwise, the prescription for Soviet citizens post-revolution would be another revolution.

@RodericDay “Reaganite garbage” the fact that every single Marxist revolt has ended in authoritarian dystopias.

@SaucePieJones @magistercaecus I am not interested in talking to you. Even if I dissuaded you of all your disingenuous misconceptions, then you'd just be as repulsive as you are now but on my side.

@RodericDay @magistercaecus You think no part of Capital is assigned in college courses? Some of my friends & old profs will be very sad to learn that they don’t exist.

@ElZato Neither Marx nor any communists ever imagined the revolution would be led by proletarians. The rest of course is just Reaganite garbage. This is the problem: you people just don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

@RodericDay Not a single Marxist “revolution” has ever been led by proletarians. Only overtly educated elite bourgeoisie, and of course their muscle, psychopathic murderers who later turn on their leaders and kill them.

@magistercaecus @RodericDay Well this is a very different point from the original post’s claim. Not assigning enough marxism to please a marxist vs “bending over backwards to avoid assigning him” The goal posts have moved out of state

@magistercaecus @SaucePieJones The solution is to hang out with like-minded and friendly people until our group is big enough that they're the ones coming up against us, rather than us against them. Asking others to be informed never works, but demanding someone is before they come to you does!

@RodericDay @SaucePieJones Yeah, I'm tired of watching an ideology criticized by people who haven't read any of the texts which espouse that ideology.

@ChrisSandvick @SaucePieJones The term you're trying to use is "extirpate". I cite Benjamin Franklin using it (as part of some heinous nonsense) in one of my more celebrated essays. #fnref35" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">redsails.org/really-existin… What's next, old man?

@RichEllefritz No. I mean, what is the defeasible thesis that I could attack to prove you wrong, and what would I get if I do?

@RodericDay @SaucePieJones Hey I'm thrilled if it's true Uni's are finally extirpating that evil piece of shit. Way overdue. So from the old folks, good riddance and may your adherence to that evil ideology bring you failure, and misery.

@magistercaecus @SaucePieJones More abstractly and philosophically, it is a disingenuous self-serving "error" to just take a random anecdotal sample, however valid or invalid, and substitute it in for an entire school of knowledge with massive historical impact.

@SaucePieJones @RodericDay ...the cheerleaders of orthodox economics just go "well, economies do be like that." As though it's not explicitly a problem of the wage-labor system of capitalism and the commodification of every single part of human life (a modern invention of the (post-)Industrial era.

@RodericDay Marx’s economics was wrong and he was an intellectual nobody until Lenin and his murderous Bolsheviks took power in 1917.

@RodericDay @SaucePieJones Heh because it’s to economics as astrology as to astronomy. I was assigned Marx in poly sci, history, and philosophy. This is just anger at the lack of respect from the profession you want it from.

@bread157 Objectively false. And to an absurd degree if you weigh it against how influential he was. Even if we grant he was obviously wrong, studying this wrongness in full and specific depth would be worth the while. But you can't teach this "wrongness," for one very fun reason.

@RodericDay Marx is taught and assigned abundantly. Also he wasn't some enlightened God who revealed the One True Way that everyone is scared to confront

@RodericDay “Schools now do weird contortions to avoid him” This type of lie is one of the oddest because it’s so easy to debunk. For many, it’s as easy as reflecting on their own experience. “Was Marx & explicitly Marxist thinkers assigned in multiple classes? Yes. They were”
