I vote everyday of my life. I send in handdrawn images of Hillary (Athena) to the DNC every morning.

They aren't even making valid criticisms of it

It's just so silly, they are just making the mudpie argument which is dispelled in the first few pages of capital.

Marxism is a way to view the world that has like 7 books written on it

data-laughing

Marx had a fundamental misunderstanding in that the cost of something doesn't affect its end value. It may affect its price, but value isn't the same thing as price either.

Hence most left wing Marxist-based economies sucking.

This is trivial to demonstrate; look at the Juicero. Tons of labor and materials poured into making one (hence a high cost) which required setting a high price to recoup... but very little value. Nobody bought the damn things, so it's high price did not match it's value. Other examples are industrial settings, where custom fixtures/molds can reach 6 digit $ price tags during production runs. Then at EOL for the project be sold off for literal pennies to scrap dealers.

Lmao, Marx famously failed to consider socially useless labor time and fixed capital investment.

The strangest interview I've ever read

He has mentioned Hegel though, a few times in footnotes and at least once in the text itself so far.

Yeah that's where I am. So far I found week 2s reading to be easier to understand after the first week.
