And they like to peddle this notion that Marx may have had some valid points back in hist time, but it’s just ridiculous to say that any of that applies to capitalism as it is today. This is rooted both in lack of having actually read Marx, but also in lack of understanding the sheer scale of exploitation that results from modern application of capitalism. These people are completely insulated from the horrors of the system, and in my view a lot of it comes down to wilful ignorance.
Yeah that too, as if Marx just had some fringe opinions that most economists dismiss, as opposed having produced an economic theory that’s the foundation for the most rapidly developing nation on the planet.

Also seemingly promoting the notion that Marx is the only person to critique capitalism ever :/
