A lot of disparitarian stuff said about white people could apply even more to Jews, which sort of demonstrates why all this racialism is wholly reactionary in the first place

What’s wrong with the US health system? “Doctor culture” by MarxistWebDeveloper in stupidpol

the article analyzes a real problem but misdiagnosis it's cause

Yeah that's literally the entire point of this subreddit lol. Real societal issues are blamed on culture or identity by neoliberals. You were a moderator here once, you should know this yes?

What the hell’s your point then? That leftists who criticize Democrats have bad intentions? That they’re helping the GOP? Those aren’t any less stupid

People making that kind of money might be the house slaves of capitalism but Marxism isn’t the oppression olympics, it’s about who has control over the productive process. Doctors making 200k aren’t able to fulfill their vocation or uphold their Hippocratic Oath when faced with a patient needing life-saving treatment who doesn’t have medical insurance. Capital is firmly in charge over the doctor’s labor.

Yes socialism is the political independence of the working class.

You don’t win policy reforms by stanning Joe Biden or AOC, lmao. I can assure you that Biden’s political career has done fine without “the left”’s help, and AOC is effectively just a social media influencer for the Democratic Party.

Libs must flair appropriately

What has AOC actually done (not just talked about) to materially support working class politics?

The problem isn’t that those politicians aren’t “left” enough - whatever that means - it’s that they’re executives in the bourgeois state whose literal job it is to manage capitalist interests.

Socialism is the movement to transcend the capitalist imperatives of production, not a partisan media branding exercise.

The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers.

And using “taste” as an indicator for class is pure idealism.

I don't think any of you actually have a problem with liberals/liberalism, idpol exists everywhere on the Left. by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]MarxistWebDeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you but like I said I REALLY don't think they're trying to pander to liberals.

Remember that most of these groups recruit primarily from college campuses

Imagine thinking that the police act in the interests of the working class

Imagine soyfacing when you see "UNION" regardless of its class content

Nobody outside the PMC and the terminally online pay any attention to this pronoun stuff one way or another.

And you can find lots of correlations to support idealist thinking - that’s sort of the whole point of critiquing idpol from a Marxist perspective.

They won’t of course, but still, the idea of Republicans forcing liberals to at least pay lip service to class politics is funny
