Marxists and Postliberals/Schmittians share a theme in presuming themselves to have identified some set of "internal contradictions" of (classical) liberalism and capitalism. They then proceed as if their diagnosis is its own proof of the inevitability of liberal capitalism's decline, whereupon either Marxism or Postliberalism will replace it as the new and true paradigm of socio-political-economic organization in the world. There are several problems with this line of thinking. First, it almost never correctly diagnoses the alleged "internal contradictions" and especially not on the economic front, which is where they usually focus this claim. Marxists proceed from their own distinctive theory of "surplus value" and center the economic unit on their own proprietary theory of class interests. But that theory is mistaken in its foundational premises about how it assesses economic value, and its unit of analysis - class consciousness - is not a coherent organizing mechanism for economic behavior (mainly due to Olsonian freeridership). They then propose policies that assume their own premises to be correct but that fail because of these errors. And when that failure happens, they try to compensate by brute-forcing their policies into existence with predictable results. Postliberals similarly proceed from an ill-defined appeal to poorly-understood Aristotelian pronouncements about "justice" and the "common good" in economic affairs, but do so without realizing that they're baking their own normative beliefs about these concepts into their premises. This leads them to resurrect arguments in the economic space that are every bit as obsolete as celestial sphere theory is to astronomy. The result is a value-laden preference for medieval economic beliefs rooted in Postliberal aesthetic distaste for what they call "consumerism." They then propose economic policies that are not only wholly unsuited to today, but mired the world in long periods of economic stagnation prior to the industrial revolution and great enrichment. In neither case is the prescriptive end the inevitable successor to liberal capitalism that the Marxists and Postliberals purport it to be. It's just a circular conclusion that they've both reached through unshakeable appear to their own faulty premises and misdiagnoses of things in the economic space that they each dislike and do not understand.

Higher wages, a 14th-month pension, tax cuts for families, stronger support for mothers. This is what we’ve delivered. How? We made banks, energy giants, and multinationals pay their fair share. Now big capital wants this government gone. We won’t let them pick our pockets. As long as Hungary has a patriotic government, we’ll keep putting families first! 🇭🇺

AfD politician boasts of ties to Kadyrov and openly visits Chechnya Noah Krieger (Murad Dadaev), a member of Germany’s Alternative for Germany party, traveled to Chechnya and brought a Luftwaffe dagger with a swastika as a gift. He met with local officials, attended a parliamentary session involving Ramzan Kadyrov, and had dinner with Zamid Chalaev, a commander of a punitive regiment linked to extrajudicial killings in Chechnya. Murad Dadaev has previously appeared in investigations: he is connected to Kadyrov’s inner circle, and his brother Suleiman Dadaev is linked to the убийство of a Chechen opposition figure in Europe.
