Midwestern Marx is a PatSoc
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oops! All academics
You're expecting a media project to not consist primarily of academics?
One that extols the virtues of simple working-class politics against "identity politics" and "postmodernism"? Yes, I do!
a bunch of philosophy and polisci dweebs and one guy that builds mansions
cool
Highlights are some dude who send a picture of himself when he was 12 years old (he looks like this as an adult: https://www.eurasiareview.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Profile-1-150x150.jpg) and some Jordan Petersen knockoff.
I was surprised to see Paul cockschott on there. His videos about economics are very informative.
The guy has some seriously reactionary views on LGBTQ rights.
Ah. Thanks for the information. I'll make sure to be very critical of his stuff from now on.
Might want to look at his tweets/comments on
tw: transphobia
constitutes a womanthat said in his vids and other work he has introduced me to databases and thinkers which i found very informative and helpful in my own study. really seems to be something in the air or water over in terf island. all credibility and capacity to reason goes out the window when talking about trans women
Cockshott's probably the one who tweeted this, isn't he big on 'bourgeois homosexual agenda' shit
No idea. Quite the shame to hear. How can a seemingly intelligent Marxist come up with such a reactionary take? Ridiculous.
