It’s an approach in economics that usually rejects Marx’s revolutionary politics but agrees with his critiques of capitalism. People like Richard Wolff identity as Marxian.
So basically academics in the economic field who aren’t totally morally bankrupt but still wanna keep their nice university jobs?
I don’t think there’s any requirement to reject revolutionary politics, just that “Marxian” doesn’t make any political prescriptions.
Yeah it’s not required but the only self identified “Marxians” I’ve come across were raging liberals while I have met “Marxist” academics that were not liberal.
Libs gonna lib, and sometimes they need to engage with Marx. “Marxian” lets them do that without inviting the red scare bullshit that Marxists will always face.
I’ve never met anyone who calls themselves “Marxian.” Only seen it used to describe Marxist economic theory without discussion of Marxist political prescriptions or history.

A Marxad is just a Marxoid in the category of endo-Marxors
category theorists only have one joke and it’s AMAZING
I think it usually refers to academic study of Marxist philosophy
Marx-ish
I turn into a marxian ohohoh
I cant even recall my name ohohoh
“Marxian” describes the Marxist critique of capitalism and the economic theory that follows.
Marxist = political ideology
Marxian=academic discipline
Honestly just assumed it was the old way of saying Marxist and never thought about it again
if you’re 🤓
Academic jargon that means you need to pay the bills and stay on the boss’s good side
I’ve heard it used recently, I can’t remember where, but that Marxian describes ideas around the same time as Marx but not necessarily from Marx.
if you’re from Mars
Marxian means you’re Marxmaxxed, Marxist means you’re just a Marxbrained Karlcel
Yeah this is basic stuff, y’all need to read more theory
Marximalist Marxer
