    He is an economist working within the bourgeois state apparatus. If you don’t think pushing MMT/neo-Keynesian economics in that position is a good idea, not sure what to tell you. If you read and listen to him enough, you’ll see he understands and thinks very much like a radical Marxist. But the framework he has agency in allows for very little, and he tries to push as far left as possible imo. While also agitating for radicalism outside of that framework, with his books, talks, appearances etc.

      You can think that he does good with his platforms and appearances and whatnot, that’s a seperate thing. But simply put, if he pushes Keynesianism he is not a Marxist and that’s that.
