>Elliot Rodger threads
>'Why can't women understand literature?' and 'has a woman ever written a masterpiece'? threads

Yeah, it's been great

>when he says he's a marxist

Reading Hegel will rot your brain!

>>8101497
>when he says he identifies as something instead of being objective and focused on the subject in front of him

>>8101367
What's will all the Hegel shill threads all of a sudden?

breh you're lucky to find a Marxist that has read Marx these days
maybe if you're lucky they will have read David Harvey's garbage Capital 4 Kids

>>8101524
its someone who hates Hegel trying to give him a bad rep

>>8101692
you don't have to read marx to realize the flaws of capitalism

the main tenets are pretty basic anyway

>>8101714
yeah ok but you have to read Marx to call yourself a Marxist

>>8101393
Yes, yes it has

>>8101520
It's ok if you just try it once. C'mon, everyone's doing it.

>>8101721
says who?

>>8101521
check out this post

>>8101692
You'd be lucky to find a Marxist who has even a cursory understanding of what the tenets of communism actually are.

>>8101721
>you have to read The Origin of Species to believe in evolution

??

>>8101743
>believing in evolution
your grandpa might have been a monkey, but mine sure wasn't

>>8101736
>>8101743
t. Marxists that haven't read Marx

>>8101737
thats why identifying as something doesn't hold much dirt to begin with

I think what mostly brings them together is their opposition to capitalism

>>8101757
what exactly is the problem with that?

>>8101766
how can you understand Marxism if you haven't read Marx?

>when he posts Pepe in /lit/

>>8101714
alas! the flaws of capitalism, like Freedom or Personal Responsibility. 'Tis a true pity im forced to work to earn a living!

>>8101772
How can you understand evolution without reading The Origin of Species?

>>8101772
I read wikipedia articles on it and it seems agreeable

>>8101776
Kapital is much more relevant to modern Marxism than OOTS is to modern evolutionary theory.

>>8101775
what does capitalism have to do with that?

>>8101367
>when he says he's a Marxist
> doesn't know Marx got Rekt and BTFO by Based vonMises and Da Austrian School Gangstaz

>>8101775
my god, and so on
pure ideology

>>8101776
that's a false equivalency and you know it
if someone were to say they were a strict Darwinist I would expect them to have read the Origin of Species
if you haven't read Marx then just call yourself a communist, or better yet just fucking read Marx

>>8101761
Actually most academics only enhance the interests of capitalism with their vision of a world free of trade borders and their advocacy of various brands of lifestyle that companies in turn market useless crap to.

>>8101761
>I think what mostly brings them together is their perceived opposition to capitalism
ftfy
the left does not pose a serious threat to capital (arguably by design)

>>8101820
well sure, every ideology is "perceived"

>>8101838
There's an hegemonic progressive ideology, of which communism and liberalism are but mere branches, which is based on spooks like egalitarianism and progress. And then there's reaction, based on a logical assessment of history, human nature and philosophy

>>8101867

>things I unironically believe

progress is a spook. class-based conflict is a spook

>'Why can't women understand literature?' and 'has a woman ever written a masterpiece'? threads
These threads have been here for many years

>>8101867
>my political views r real, urs r spooks lol btfo

>>8101714
criticizing capitalism=/=marxism

>>8101867

120% agree

>And then there's reaction, based on a logical assessment of history, human nature and philosophy
but then you went full retard

>>8101776
I can understand the theory of evolution at it's core, even if I'm not sure how it works in depth. I don't base my thinking or philosophy around evolution, it's a theory I just happen to believe is true.

How can I say I'm a Platonist and base my thinking and philosophy around the teachings of Plato if I haven't even read his books?

>when he says he is a marxist

>>8101692
Fuck David Harvey. Got btfo by kliman.

>>8101787
>he takes Austrian economics seriously when it got ripped apart by bukharin

>>8101692
Marxist is a term that has taken meaning wider than just the theories of Marx. As time moves and we arrive in this brave new world shit, Marx gets progressively relevant to critiquing capitalism.

>>8102948
>socialist "economics"

>he reads hegel

>>8101497
What are you? Just curious lad

>>8101520
This is true, I read Hegel once & now I'm
Gay.

>>8102974
socialism works in theory... But in Reality you eventuallly run out of other people's money haha

>>8101785
Everything, old boy.
