I would argue that feudalism is just another version of capitalism, or maybe a proto-capitalism.
It is all still based on the theft, enclosure, and commodification of the commons, which is the heart of capitalism, and the cause of the power imbalances we now have. We have been living with the consequences of that theft for thousands of years now in Eurasia, so long that we no longer understand it, see it, or call it out as the base cause of our broken economic and political systems.
Or that Capitalism is just another version of Feudalism ;-) The hierarchies are essentially the same - except the kings being replaced with presidents and the lords with CEOs.
Speaking of the commons and enclosures I have an article coming out in a couple weeks on how private property has been used to oppress and control which I hope will bring attention to this.
They’ll fund university economics departments so that the ‘experts’ they hire are on their side, they’ll fill schools with educational materials supporting their views, they’ll even promote religious leaders who will take their money to give sermons on the superiority of Capitalism.
Wow, three lies in a row. Universities are demonstrably leftist, Marxist havens while an openly Marxist Pope has passed away in recent days, and you have nobody in your court?
You’re wrong about everything and will always fail. KYS.
Did you actually go to college? Because I did. Alan Dershowitz was teaching opportunity cost as choosing Pepsi over Coke in a vending machine (Harvard economics professor, i'm assuming you were previously unaware). If you yourself were an actual well meaning capitalist you would find that offensive because serious economics students know farm models are the best way to explain such topics.
If you're going to make claims, base them in reality. Universities, especially the elite ones, have been cloaking the dumbing down of American students behind prestige for at least the last 20 years. And not via Marxism. Otherwise we'd have had a Marxist society back in the 70s. Archaeology classes were covering up crimes against humanity and exploring racist thought like it was virtue. History departments were peddling American fan fiction like dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was saving lives, not war crimes to scare the Soviets. And do you think they even bothered with talking about how the government rounded up AMERICAN CITIZENS of Japanese ancestry and put them in concentration camps? People like you whine that our history books make white people uncomfortable. I would say obviously not enough to make a difference. If being right mattered that much to you you'd stop hiding behind the misogynist logic that college was beneath you so you'd have ground to stand on while making these claims.
I got a tepid "Marxist" education in high school, that didn't leave out that Wilson was a Klan sympathizer, FDR was pressured by labor movements, and Truman was a mass murderer, and that George Wallace, God rest his soul, was an unrelenting piece of shit. College did it's best to silence that and tried to pull me back into the closet of untruths. Boston University built an underground lab to work on finding cures for deadly diseases...do you know where? Under a neighborhood where the residents were black and brown folks.
Or maybe you don't understand what Marxism is to begin with. Universities carry all the energy of Bernie Sanders (who, incidentally is not a Marxist, and neither is AOC), with the goal being to take that energy and reappropriate it back into the system so nothing effectively changes.
If you want to add to the conversation, educate yourself, and come back with ideas that are rooted in reality, not Fox News talking points. I know you think you're disrupting space but really you're betraying yourself as a moron to everyone who happens to scroll past your comment.
Did you know Stephen Miller went to Duke? How could he have ended up such a fascist if there was only room for Marxists at the collegiate level? Donald Trump went to the Wharton School at UPenn. I think you could make the argument that they didn't teach him anything, unless running casinos into the ground is a business skill they trademarked. Brett Kavanaugh went to Yale, the "No Means Yes, Yes Means Anal" school.
Trust me, you have nothing to worry about. Kids are getting dumber, because our education system has been systematically gutted, and American universities are not exceptions to this, because they've encouraged this shit themselves.
Your comment is puerile and betrays your own insecurities - it is a poor facade to hide behind & spitting bile from behind it only weakens your tenuous position further - I truly feel pity for you
Are you saying that these bodies haven't give airtime on the stations they own to religious leaders who support them? The evidence overwhelmingly says otherwise.
I'm not a Marxist or a Catholic - I just followed the money - it goes from the corporations to departments headed to people like Milton Friedman and to the Chicago School, and on the campaigns of Reagan, Clinton, Trump etc.
Capitalism, theory wise proves, growth of per-capita-income - ladders go up. albeit criteria proves incomes of individuals high middle and less. But in today reality, is it true? Hope so not? Here lies the exact meaning of ‘CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY’ success growth, or ‘totalitarianism’. Thanks!

Yup, the Divine Right of Kings just transferred to the Divine Right of CEOs.
Brilliant! Looking forward to that.

Your comment reveals that you have no idea what the actual 'left' means.
According to whom? Some fucking retard “he-queer” named Drew?

You certanly love to reveal yourself…
Are you saying that Corporate bodies have no funded pro-Capitalist University economics departments? The evidence overwhelmingly says otherwise.
