Current Events > Is Marxism a conspiriatorial theory?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It presupposes that theres this class of people who is keeping the rest of us down. Isnt that how most conspiracy theory goes? Like theres this big shadow organization that controls world affairs or some such

I'm not sure it's intellectually honest to call a long standing school of economic philosophy a "conspiracy theory"

---

It's not a conspiracy theory when it's a blatantly obvious economic and sociological fact.

Its not really much of a conspiracy that the rich and powerful horde all the resources. Conspiracy theories basically make up giant lizards or floating eyeballs or some dumb shit because they don't want to believe the obvious.

Did you mean that bullshit "cultural marxism" that replaced complaining about multiculturalism? It's just something white supremacists and their shills pass around.

i'd argue no, it's not

marxism is just another angle of economic and societal analysis, and there's value in that, if not simply as a thought-provoking counterpoint with other schools of thought

even if its prescriptions are problematic and its predictions somewhat faulty in hindsight

Is it a conspiracy theory that humans have sought to dominate their fellow man since the dawn of history? No, it is simply plain fact.

This is so dumb that I'm not sure how to respond.
