Well, you know what I mean. Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the IMF, and formerly head of the world bank, went to the Karl Marx Higher Institute, for Economics for an MA in political economy and sociology.
yes, I’m just pointing out that there’s a huge difference between understanding something and adhering to it (e.g. we more or less understand fascism but we couldn’t be more ideologically different)
Marxists are first and foremost people who uphold the necessity of proletarian revolution. His analysis of capitalism is in service of this goal. Marxian economists (who you’re describing) remove the critique and ignore the inherent political content because his analysis is that good.
Unironically, if you understand Marxian economics and the mechanisms behind capitalism, then that will give you an edge when doing capitalist things.
I hold the position that Marxists makes the best capitalists.
I wouldn’t call them Marxists if they understand the Marxist critique of capitalism but misuse it
