" [The ruling class] know who their enemies are, and their enemies are the people, the people at home and the people abroad. Their enemies are [...] anybody who wants to use the surplus value of society for social needs rather than for individual class greed, that's their enemy. " ~ Michael Parenti

    I have a very good reason to talk: to defend good Marxist ideas presented and to counter pejorative dismissals.

    If the ideas are good then they are good, regardless of who says it and what ideologies they call themselves or are called.

    If the ideas are bad then feel free to criticize them and let the readers determine their merits for themselves.

    On the Pyramid of Debate (my lovely design, BTW), your initial comment simply made an Ad Hominem attack on Parenti. I asked you to clarify. You tell me to shut up. You lose.

    If you have some "prerequisite knowledge" then teach me it or shut the fuck up about shutting me up. I may not know it all, nor do you, but I certainly have enough to stand behind the vast majority of what I speak on, and there's no shortage of evidence of that here on SaidIt.

      What's really funny is you don't even know about them and would rather promote ostrichism.
