He's also a homophobe:

He's also against dialectical materialism, as if all socialists from Engels to Mao to the Marxists of the modern day have missed something this fundamental:

Due to the latter point, I find it hard to consider him a Marxist, this is absolute revisionism. Issues with philosophy lead to issues with ideology, this is a pattern you will notice with the revisionists of the past.
He also repeatedly calls sex workers "wh___s" in his writings. And argues that Western workers are exploited to a higher rate than those in the global South.
He's also against the theory of unequal exchange. He doesn't just have one or two mistakes, he consistently makes errors; there's a big difference. Bravo to Cockshott for inventing his own Marxist deviation that nobody follows.
Also, what's the source for the latter?
That the rate of exploitation is higher in the West? That's his argument against unequal exchange, it was some YT video but I can't watch YT right now, away from home.
oh i see
