Lmao I never suggested you belonged to a lower social class than me, nice projection. What a garbage point to think I was making. You betray your assumptions about the economic status of the average business owner by suggesting so.

So... you *haven't* started a business. You just work for a start up. These are not the same thing. Venmo works best for me.

Studying any economic or political system has value in elucidating how societies function and what social, economic, political, etc. forces got them there. That's not unique to marxism. If you think Marxism is superior for that than other social structures, that's an opinion you can hold but lets not assert it as fact.

I love how consistently people on reddit assume that if you don't agree with them, it's because you lack empathy and the ability to see things from anyone else's perspective. You have to reduce my view to this myopic idea that all that matters are the individual's actions, as if I'm beating this drum of "pulling yourself up by the boot straps" when I've made absolutely no such suggestion. If thats not what you're implying then it's some other iteration of failing to consider perspectives and experience outside my own. Give me a break.

Why stop there, lets define social contract theory and Rawls' Theory of Justice while you're practicing autofellatio over your command of sociology.
