The point is that I “know” you because you hold the default ideology of your society, and I am intimately familiar with Liberalism in all its forms. It’s not a diss on you. It’s a statement of fact. Liberalism is the hegemonic system of belief you were raised in and what you have been espousing here.
How educated on Marxism are you? Have you read Lenin’s works? Have you read anything by Marx, even the complete Manifesto?
Why couldn’t my grandpa have been part of the communist party? Even if I didn’t know him, wouldn’t he instill it into my mother who packs it into me?
You are right to the extent that I am not read up on the literature. I mean I haven’t read the Wealth of Nations either, but dabbling with Seeing Like a State. I alsi studied sociology for a semester or two, so different social patterns are not totally alien to me.
Again, excuse me for posting without familiarizing myself with proper form, but our thread is starting to feel a bit gate keepy. I appreciate your knowledge (or what you state of it), but that seems to be the start and end of it. You’re read up, I’m not. You know me, I don’t know you.
My main guess on why you don’t want to actually interact on the topic is that you don’t want to spoon feed me everything that is oh-so-trivial on the sub. I dunno, I feel boxed in. You may be right, it’s just repelling to anyone not in the group.
You should be “gate kept” from discussing things which you have no knowledge about. Go and read Marx, at the bare minimum the manifesto, and then we can have a discussion. It’s only a handful of pages. Until then, no investigation no right to speak. Why do you believe you have the right to discuss and argue with people about things you haven’t put the bare minimum of effort into learning about? Why are you wasting our time and yours instead of simply reading?
