She isn’t a marxist, but she has described herself as a communist and regularly rails against imperialism and propaganda as a whole, on top of having friendly relationships with marxists and also pushes back against reactionary thought like anti “wokism” or whatever else right wing opportunists are wailing about. Guess this is kind of a smaller part of how we should go about “left” unity.

    So tbh, if she doesn’t want to accept criticism from Marxists

    she does, kind of ? She never truly rails against him when does that, and I think as far as I know they still follow each other so there’s no real bad blood between them, that’s kinda what I mean

      I’ve never seen her engage with these critiques in good faith. She seems to mostly just get really defensive and refuses to rethink her strategy or the theory in general. A big point here, I think, is the fact that her business model where her readers pay her, reinforces that kind of non-Marxist analysis of propaganda, because it lets the readers feel as an educated and truth-knowing elite above the majority of the masses that are ‘brainwashed’.
