I didn't write any insults. I attacked your arguments. I said they were reminiscent of Jordan Peterson's word salad. I'm saying you aren't saying anything of substance. You're stringing a bunch of lofty concepts together in an attempt to sound smart, but you aren't saying anything at all.

I think that's what Marx was doing at many times too, but unfortunately some people are incapable of questioning it and instead just repeat it verbatim.

You directly compared me to Jordan Peterson, and you know I'm a Marxist, surely you can connect the dots and see how that would be insulting. Own up to that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by Marx trying to sound smarter, or just regurgitate word salad? Or how it is that I don't question Marx? Agreeing with him generally doesn't mean I do so thoughtlessly.
