@dehistoriapisciumfish7639 Going berserk and cutting all communications because your mother wants to read a normal book on the matter, without suggesting to you that you ought to read it as well -- yeah, that is a cult.

This is like a spreading cult. Be sure it will come to a close soon. It just feels like forever.

@criticalcommenter You make some assumptions here. What is this lust for victim blaming we seem to indulge in with relish? Where does it come from? (Grave insecurity? Cowardice?)

@MyGTV2000 He is really confused. This has nothing to do with Marx or Marxism; their sin was to support the very opposite, and to look down on what we today call LGBTQ. They wrote it off to "bourgeois decadence." They were decidedly unsympathetic and illiberal.

@criticalcommenter No one ever discusses the commons, or the rentier class, or the difference between monopoly capital and a real free market, or how the latter is conducive to liberty and democratic principles while the former is deadly to them. You know. Stuff like that. You don't want people to get ideas.

@criticalcommenter Feel free to make suggestions if that's what you think. I'll take them. No, not kidding, not snide. I enjoyed this guest.

@criticalcommenter Friedman? Which Friedman, Milton? He's a poster boy for disaster capitalism. These are the people who dress up the wolf of monopoly capital in the sheep's clothing of free markets. They are exactly who muddled the issue. They are the neofeudalists Smith warned about.
