You canā€™t ā€œdebunkā€ Marxism by skimming the Wikipedia page. You canā€™t expound on your infantile ā€œcritiqueā€ from a position of total ignorance.

Every time a liberal ā€œdebunksā€ Marxism it is, without fail, not a single exception, the exact same shit that was discredited 150 years ago. A lot of ā€œMarx didnā€™t considerā€s that heā€™s written entire essays on. They canā€™t come up with literally anything new, spewing the same shit over and over again like a broken record.

Are liberals allergic to academic honesty?

And no I am not German I stole the screenshot.

      thatā€™s not what socialism is

      thereā€™s a reason why neoliberalism was founded on dismantling the state. The mere possibility for a collective response, such as a state funded enterprise for healthcare (lol Bidenā€™s covid eugenics holocaust) is anathema to their ā€œfree association between individuals navigating the free marketā€ utopia.

          Whether intentional or unintentional, assigning a specific definition to a term that lacks a commonly accepted meaning is a conversational obstructionist strategy, a tactic broadly known as ā€˜framingā€™. It is used extensively by politicians to control the narrative around socialism (think red scare, palmer raids, etc). While ā€œsocial democracyā€ is a positive framing, it still obstruct the original statement. In this case ending up in a semantics debate or attempting to assign a different emotional message. Iā€™m not ragging on you specifically, I just want to point out that this is a thing people do.
