@Axstro156 @LEscapology @charybdeez if they are proved to be useful they serve no purpose in the argument. you're basically shooting your own leg and thinking that killed marx.

"you don't need to read theory" person 1 shotted by the mudpie argument. maybe you need to read theory after all.

you don't need to read theory. you need to be educated on *current* politics. you need to know what is happening in the present, and which policies are effective for improving the world *now*

@LEscapology @charybdeez But this is misunderstand mirs point his point he makes is that there is no cuh thing in reality that is truly useless, he rejects the hypothetical as not meaningful

@Axstro156 @charybdeez ‘Mud pie’ is used as a stand-in for ‘item which no one wants or uses’ in an argument against labour theory of value. It just means ‘useless thing’, arguing about the example you use is worthless
English
@LEscapology @charybdeez Why aren't mud pies useful? You're not really arguing against them
English
@charybdeez Anti-Marxist thinking as hard as they possibly can: ‘mud pies are useful to me!’

@rainatnight777 @Mirs_____ @BodyWoOrgans Stop coping and accept that your favorite theorist isn't relevant
English
@Mirs_____ @BodyWoOrgans the basis of most modern theory is marx, to understand it fully, you should read marx

the liberals in power today do not read Adam Smith

i always remain fascinated by the type of anti-intellectual socialist who doesn't 'believe in' theory. liberals have a vast corpus of academic and intellectual theoretical models with definite utility to them, but assuredly we do not need to do the same and can win off of vibes
English
@Mirs_____ @BodyWoOrgans If you start advocating for that then most socialist will stop being socialists (good)
English
@BodyWoOrgans yes. socialists should also primarily read modern stuff
