I pray for the sweet release of death.
Yeah I’m a centrist, Maoists and anarchists both make some good points.
Jokes aside, this dude might just need a couple stats about people living paycheck to paycheck, homeless rates, starvation, etc to give in
You could force him to read Piketty’s Capital at gunpoint and I doubt he’d sincerely budge on his position.
“Marx would have been neoliberal because the future is so great right now!” is a product of bullshit hard wired into people’s brains. Brazil Good, Venezuela Bad, because Gomunism. Japan Good, China Bad, because Gomunism. Florida Good, Cuba Bad, because Gomunism. No, nothing you say will never change my mind.
Marx: “I call it “Scientific Socialism” it’s grounded in a material analysis of the parasitic nature of capitalism, this has nothing to do with “doing what’s right” or moralism, I turned Hegel upside down, no more God business.”
This asshole: “I bet if Marx were alive today, he’d be dazzled by consumerism and the trinkets late capitalism provides.”
Literally everyone is richer than he could ever have imagined.
This motherfucker thinks this would make Marx a “centrist”.
Aaaaaaahhhh
Everyone is richer. Lets not think about complicated stuff like inflation, or the rising cost of living, or stagnant wages. EVERYONE HAS MORE MONEY NOW!
