Marxists?? The shooter is a straight up Trump supporting, republican, evangelical, violence-oriented white male. How do you get “Marxist” out of that toxic soup- unless you don’t know the meaning of the word and are just trying to smear and deflect?

not to quibble but Khomeinism despises ancient Persia and aspires to a future-oriented unprecedented Shiite utopia (under Marxist/Hegelian influence)
Honestly, there is something deeply ironic of a nation that views itself as a successor to the tradition of Rome, and has rendered its Senate irrelevant and is ruled by a mad Emperor who has chosen to go to war with a nation that views itself as a successor to Ancient Persia.

What if workers decide to not make vaccines etc? that’s why we have multiple levels of governance and a government oriented around science and well being. No Marxist governments have ever been anti vax. However, we know more decentralized systems have integrated to anti medical science views and

Harvey was my introduction to serious Marxist analysis (I was mostly reading more Anarchist oriented stuff like Z Magazine before that) and was an absolute game changer. If you ever felt intimidated by Marxist political economy this is a great way in.

My cardinal directions as a marxist:
1) make Palestine central
2) brinng sartre back
3) value oriented stuff and ideology critique aren’t as opposed as many present them
4) residual antipathy to the fragment on the machine

I get taken advantage of by people who can see that I am gullible due to having nonverbal communication and interpersonal inference based impairments. This is why I became ever more of a principled materialism oriented Marxist. People have tricked me and capitalism is one large scam.

not really an academic text but you might like "everything for everyone" as a work of political speculative fiction oriented around particular trends in modern marxist feminist currents

I went to Mount Holyoke, jokingly referred to as a "Marxist lesbian indoctrination camp." I had one maybe sorta Marxist professor? A lot of my profs' politics were oriented around class over "woke" concerns. Class conversations only felt mono-opinionated when students hadn't done the reading (rare)
One columnist, a professional pundit, is living in a paranoid delusion. The other, a sociologist, is living in America.

As I understand it, the more Marxist strain of LPE has been critical of the antitrust strain as too super
structural or narrowly policy-oriented. The first half of this offers (imho) a pretty clear articulation of a kind of deep theory of antitrust, almost an alternative to Marx on labor alienation

The divide between left-liberal and results-oriented leftist is currently less meaningful than the one between results oriented antifascists generally and the ideologically uncompromising, because the country needs ~25 years of leftward political change before socdem vs demsoc vs Marxist is relevant

something that's very important to emphasize, imo, is that Marxists should want nothing more than to cease having reasons to be Marxist
I don't enjoy spending a ton of my mental energy coping with a inhuman social order oriented around accumulation of value
I'd be researching something fun instead

I support this message. The Left has abandoned a Marxist-oriented critique of capitalism in favor of "identity" politics, in large part because people on the Left no longer have any real idea how economics works - and they don't intend to learn.
What makes it an identity rather than an ideology is that it is largely immune to events or evidence. It doesn't matter what happens in the real world, what Dems actually do, how the context changes, how bad Rs are, anything. You have your catechism & you repeat it. That's your team. Your identity.

This is a NYT news article, probably not written or edited by a Marxist. And Maduro has changed policy from Chavez, in a more privatization and market-oriented direction, which is probably what the "economists" referenced are referring to.

The #WorkingClass is a socioeconomic group of people who earn their living through wage #labor, often in manual, service-oriented, or lower-income jobs.
In Marxist theory, the #proletariat stands in direct contrast to the #bourgeoisie (the #capitalist class who own factories, land, and businesses).

Considering I grew up on a steady diet of this dangerous Marxist/communist/leftist/anti-capitalist/pro-gay/anti-family propaganda and became an educated, empathetic, charitable, employed, voting, animal-loving, family-oriented, feminist book reader and joy seeker… they're probably right to kill it.
