But did he consider some may just be Lemmy users?
In that case, I think the student could easily prove their authenticity. Invite the student in and ask them to explain their understanding of and perspectives on several conflicting flavors of Marxism. Compare and contrast Leninism and Maoism. Or find other ways for them to demonstrate some understanding of Marxism. If the student really is just such a big Marx fan that they shoehorn the topic into every paper they can, it is reasonable to expect they have at least some surface-level understanding of Marxism, or at least to the level that would be necessary to write the paper they submitted.
LMAO
We are anarchists with Leninist tendencies, not Marxists, you imperial dog.
Is joke, I barely know any of these words.
Ah, but then the bibliography and recommended reading sections of the paper would have cleared that up. Fucking tankies love recommending "you should read more theory, comrade." Also, why would paid troll farms in ethiopia be taking classes in person?
Oh my god, you're right. The number of .ml users that "learned their theory from someone else" instead of reading source texts is mind-boggling. To be fair, I don't want to read 150yo texts to inform my own opinions, but moreso because I find them archaic in their reasoning, not because they're dull and pompous (they are).
If you "learned your theory form someone else" you're somebody's goon, not a maxist.
Yes.
"The professor seems like one of those woke liberals Marxist types he'll love it"
underrated comment.
Is it? It wasn't even 15 minutes old when you commented.
It's still underrated. Should be top.
It wasn't a top level comment. Either way you may like to take a look at the behind the scenes of Lemmy's various sorting options.
It's a novelty in a world of opaque blackbox algorithms.
