most marxist analysis uses pretty big words, somewhat unnecessarily. like working class or just workers when the academic term would be proletariat. dumbing down the language can make you fly under the radar very effectively
I find that a lot of "Marxist analysis" is people using the big words as a smoke screen to mask a lack of deep understanding.
sometimes people have big words and understanding. they just don't know another way to talk.
there is 2 ways of education an individual:
educated them to educate others
educate them to exclude others
because of careerism, the second is incentivized.
ah we are agreeing?
i believe so, like here im not afraid to use big complicated words, like i remember not knowing what a mountebank is in the communist manifesto, googling it and thinking, why the fuck would you translate that as a word?
I see now. I read the first comment in a different tone but now I see what you meant. Thanks for not letting me escalate out of nothing lol.
