I kind of have a soft spot for libs who distort reality in their minds so much that they start believing Marx would be a “vote blue no matter who” socdem. Like they can be really annoying but I just find it to be such a funny world view that I can’t get too mad at them
It’ll immediately be cast as contrarian in the usual quarters, but it really isn’t. In it, I take seriously the late sociologist Erik Olin Wright’s provocation, “In your ideal society, do you imagine there would be no private jets anymore, or would there be private jets for all?”
curious how 100 years ago the workers of nations w/ < 50% literacy rates were roused to revolution by the unadulterated Marxist program but somehow today in nations with universal education and near 100% literacy rates this same program is incomprehensible to the average worker
