      I’m 99 percent sure you didn’t mean anything by this, but as a word of warning: “Jip”/gyp comes from a word used to describe Romani people. And that word is a slur.

      It’s almost like calling Roma, the “n-word”

      Of course MSM will hype the guy saying communism is the opium of the masses and that change is not possible because human nature, basically your average redditor but with some marxist-sh jargon sprinkled in there.

        I think it’s a bit unfair to say that about sociology as a whole. It’s an incredibly valuable field of study. Even many sociologists are extremely anti-capitalist, as well.

        I think Zizek is more of a fascist cheerleader than an actual sociologist.

    “Eclectic thinkers can, of course, fuse and combine everything in their minds. With eclectic thinking you can fuse not only Marx and Kant, but even Marx and medieval “realist” thinkers. But for coherent thinkers, the illegal union of Marx with Kant’s philosophy must be regarded as something monstrous in the full sense of the word.”

    Plekhanov was such a great thinker, and even he ended up ultimately on the reactionary side.
