I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol
Yey or ney for him?
As someone said in the post
As far as I can tell, he’s a guy who spends all his time posting about how all leftists do is post.
And this ain’t the first time, Roderick’s a bit terminally online, arguing against other progressives like JT (Second Thought) and Michael Hudson…
Edit:
Ok I’ve made a right-deviationist mistake in saying that Michael Hudson is a progressive, and indirectly agreeing with the views of the former…
I’ve not investigated into JT’s MMT videos nor looked carefully into Hudson (I thought he was also against capitalism, turns out, only finance and feudalism…, just cares for industrial capitalism)
It is, because Kaukyism, the core of this idea is anti-lenin and revisionist against the USSR.
Its a strain of ‘othrodox marxism’ which basically treats Marx like the bible. It also funnyily enough, while trying to claim no bias ends up inserting the authors own (wrong in my opinion) takes on it.
It is a strain of social democracy, not communism.
That makes a lot of sense!
