inventing the guy to be mad at and citing zero economic numbers, this is the essence of marxists engaged in cultural thinking. avoid at all costs
Are you referring to the author, or the person being criticized?
the person being criticized due to "inventing the guy to be mad at". but tbh, i don't think this text needed marxism at all, from both sides. you can make same arguments as a lib arguing with conservative.
alleged reactionary socialism with its elites talks about elites degradation/moral debasement as a problem. their existence is a problem, why should marxists care what they think, their function is to apply capital for maximum return. Them doing some brownian exploratory motion of idea space is whatever, sometimes might be good, sometimes might be shit.
Fair enough.
It just been getting under my skin that famous "marxists" doing tea leaves polisci reading, like i'm sure there are people like jason hockel engaging with input output tables, but zizek being the most famous is just dire. same for french dipshits of the 60s
