    Like this is the “intellectual” y’all look up to?

    please forgive me for my tone bc i fw yall and don’t want to come across as angry at anybody other than displeased with Cockshott

    I haven’t listened to this (can’t rn) but can you give a quick rundown of what he’s saying? Is it literally like “gay people bad”?
    Imo reactionary is criticizing actual people or faulting cultures as a cop out for underlying issues, simply criticizing cultures are a little different. Like if I said “American culture is steeped in overindulgence” I’m not personally criticizing every American literally. Even something like “Israel is a genocidal state spreading hatred and racism” isn’t a personal indictment of every Israeli

    one of his main points in his argument is that the CIA celebrates pride month, therefore LGBTQ=bourgeoisie* (edit)

    it’s that level of “analysis”

    we can talk about semantics like my loose usage of the word reactionary if u want but idc

    I think in general subcultures are worthwhile to a***yze to some degree but that’s not really a critique or a***ysis that’s just being ed

    Goon had me thinking Cockshott is one of them ones cause I f*** wit him (goon)

    Zizek supports NATO and is still worth reading

    Althusser killed his wife and is still worth reading

    Marx was a big meanie

    Schmitt tried to be buddies with the Nazis and...

    Cockshott has some dumb views no doubt, but just like I don't read Zizek for his foreign policy views, I don't read Cockshott for his gender views you feel me?

    For example I believe in the concept of unequal exchange between the global north and global south, which Cockshott denies

    I think his view on direct democracy is a bit too idealistic

    His views on sexuality are also strange

    And my philosophic views are different than his

    But still his economic works are very well worth reading

    He's a big STEMlord so his societal a***ysis can be hit or miss

    But then again, a lot of Marxists in the West completely disregard the labor theory of value and some of the stuff Cockshott writes about, he's a valuable counter-weight

    The answer is probably somewhere between the liberal arts Marxoids and the STEM Marxoids
