    I love it when they tell me economic theory is wrong as a way to win an argument. You see only communist economic theory from the one book they read, written by some maoist farmer that was summarized in a lemmygrad post they read while taking a shit, is correct.

    I strongly believe we need to employ more socialist and communist ideas into Western society/economics. That’s not kosher with them though. We have be lead by a dictator who starves millions of people to death or it’s not real communism enough.

      Bet they don’t even know what a Kibbutz is when they heard of them being attacked.

      It’s not about political ideology it’s about being right and always be afraid of an angry person who “knows they’re right”.

        I can’t fake being afraid of them but I’ll happily feel sorry for them.

      I prefer my debates about economic theory to exclude Maoism, yeah. I did enjoy Unlearning what macroeconomics 101 taught me, though.

      There’s no reason to bring any more of Marx into neoclassical economics than has already been taken. The stuff we left out was the invalid stuff
