I don't mind it being brought up as a subject for debate. I do mind Stalin apologists and Antifa goons. I just can't see how some evils are socially acceptable now while others are not. It's like having a list of the coolest sex offenders... They're all bad and should be treated accordingly. But instead many places of "higher learning" (which at this point I assume - sarcastically, of course - is code for 'shrooms, acid, or other hippie drugs the professors use) choose sides where there should be none to take. I'd love to see them move to China and see how long they last with their fringe bullshit. I guarantee their crackpot narrative, communist or not, won't line up with the CCP and they'll soon bemoan what they romanticized. As far as I'm concerned, supporting Marxist regimes is no different than supporting Saddam Hussein, Hitler or Vlad the Impaler. Any variations are purely cosmetic.

A very compelling string of sentences that requires some good thought processing to reply to. I'll do more "tomorrow". Zzzzz.

Andrew Kliman argues that this undermines Marx's critiques and the correction of the alleged inconsistencies, because internally inconsistent theories cannot be right by definition

Philosopher and historian of ideas, Leszek Koakowski, criticizes the laws of dialectics as fundamentally erroneous. Stating that some are "truisms with no specific Marxist content", others "philosophical dogmas that cannot be proved by scientific means" and some just "nonsense". He believes that some Marxist laws can be interpreted differently, but that these interpretations still in general fall into one of the two categories of error.

Neo-Marxism is a loose term for various twentieth-century approaches that amend or extend Marxism and Marxist theory, usually by incorporating elements from other intellectual traditions, such as critical theory, psychoanalysis, or existentialism (in the case of Sartre).

Well, there's some critiques from Wikipedia I found. It's been growing stronger and people think that a whole entire new system with certain beliefs is going to make everything better when it's probably not going to.
