only a brief skim of milquetoast class conflict arguments, and the occasional postering with platitudinous references to harvey and pikkety and their like. There’s no actual reading of Marx’ capital circulations, the takedown of which should be the entire fucking point of resolving this exponential financialization-finite resource contradiction

anarchists are something else, man

Iirc, Piketty did the same thing while writing a book named after Mark’s Capital

This person is at least engaging strongly with Marxist ideas somewhat looking at their references compared to Picketty, if they do them in a very superficial way with some of the references.

i don think “anti-degrowth” exist yet, for can you even say that degrowth exists? the slogan and its orbiting research is so lacking there isnt really anything put forth to be against. as this guy even sums up himself “policy proposals isnt degrowth’s strong suit”. I think its an idea that could develop something profoundly crucial but they’re not even close yet.

Marx is referenced 108 times at least, and probably based on the first paragraph he’s in gets him completely wrong lmao nevermind.

edit: well skimming over some of the other ones, some I agree with, some I don’t, oh man some of these are really bad. Others again the more I look are decent though. I would say this person definitely put in the effort to survey a bunch of different Marxists at least.
