You can literally lose your job and reputation for being labelled a TERF. But nah. No one is allowed to be victims except for the gayz and the trains and the blacks

You say you can’t, but they do it anyway.

It's the "neo-marxism" bullshit again...

This is the equivalent of calling any "us vs them" ideology in the world "marxist", regardless of it's origin or actual content.

You know that this is just the same old, tired and ineffective "red scare" playbook the right has playing for years, don't you?

And the irony of it all is that this only made people support socialism even more, because newsflash: if you start to brand everything marxist, including things people actually like (movies, tv shows, anti-segregation laws, marriage equality and so on), they're going to start to wonder if it's that bad after all.

Did you even watch the video before being reactionary? These people have literally admitted to adapting Marx.

These people have literally admitted to adapting Marx.

I can shit on a sheet of paper and say that I'm adapting the Mona Lisa, or even identify as whatever shit I want, it doesn't mean anything.

Post structuralists do not believe in metanarratives (all encompassing means to describe and analyse reality) and so reject their very notion. Liberalism, religion, nazism and marxism are all exemples of metanarratives because they propose to explain reality by specific frameworks, and so are deemed to be "incomplete" and "inaccurate" by their very essence by the post structuralists.

I advise to to educate yourself by reading actual literature on political philosophy instead of simply believing on what certain media personalities want you to belive.

Marx ain't no Mona Lisa.

He was a middle class snob who used prostitutes and expected hisn own daughters to marry up and become ladies.

You knew what I meant by the comparison, don't be autistic.

He was a middle class snob who used prostitutes and expected hisn own daughters to marry up and become ladies.

He was like our average philosopher then? lol

I love how people who are illiterate about philosophy and science think that the people behind most well regarded inventions and philosophies were model, god fearing citizens.

Just because they said that doesn't mean they understand his work. Marx had valid criticisms of capitalism and did not invent a new economic system with his name on it.

Marx was a loser who lived off the goodwill of other people, never had a job, and raped his maid.

Good thing none of that discredits him as an economist! He was a thinker and writer, not someone to emulate.

He wasn’t an economist. He lived off his “friends” and never had a job. You have to have a degree in order to be an economist. Taking anything Marx wrote seriously is like listening to a NEET living in his mom’s basement in 2022.
