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)

    I thought she was a Trotskyist.

    They’re both at best trots.

    I’m arguing that there is evidence to suggest that he has read Marx.

    Maybe he’s read a little bit of Marx. He doesn’t seem to put it into practice. He basically has is own niche fusion of MMT, Keynesianism, and seeing China working without understanding that much.

    Come on now, let’s keep this in good faith.

    Fair, he might be assuming Geopolitical Economy Report people are baby leftists or something, but honestly I’m not sure if that assessment’s true. Plus they go in depth a lot of the time and idk if they’re expecting the same people to understand. Anyway, the nazi website including his rhetoric is inexcusable.
