I have no idea what it is, and whenever I read anything about it, I get more confused.
Magical Marxism demands something more of orthodox Marxism - something more interesting and liberating. It asks that we imagine a Marxism that moves beyond debates about class, the role of the state and the dictatorship of the proletariat. In escaping the formalist straitjacket of typical Marxist critique, Merrifield argues for a reconsideration of Marxism and its potential, applying previously unexplored approaches to Marxist thinking that will reveal vital new modes of political activism and debate.

Like wtf is going on in the Anglo world?
It asks that we imagine a Marxism that moves beyond debates about class
LMAOOO Every single time, like a clockwork.
ABC, Anything But Class, as Parenti put it
A spectre is haunting Europe, the spectre of Kautsky!
They keep saying lenin is old but when everyone brings up and keeps the same politics, lenin will be young
Are anglos actually creating marxism-potterism? it was supposed to be a meme wtf
From my experience, any ‘Marxism’ that leads with ‘moving beyond’ or abandoning class is a waste of time.
Literally marxism, but its just 100% idealism, if you think very hard about communism, do an funny dance, swing an magic item, say some funny words, press the communism button and use the power of friendship, then communism will be achieved just like that!
We knew the cursed nexus of Western Marxism and Harry Potter fandom was coming sooner or later.
No one denies that communism requires some sacrifices. Famines, genocides, purges, totalitarianism, secret police, ethnic cleansing, and hard labor camps are just the price we have to pay for utopia.
Don’t you want utopia?

Hoxha wakes up from his grave, repeats “revisionist” for 24 hours straigh, refuses to elaborate any further, and return to the grave.

This is the most confusing and bizarre shit I have ever seen. But looks like “Marxism, just super idealist! C’mon, guys! What could possibly go wrong with this?”.
Using magic is like coding in Javascript, but somehow even less logical and reliable
From the author’s latest, Marx, Dead and Alive
Marx is important today not necessarily because he was right, as Terry Eagleton has argued; but because he matters even if he was wrong. Anyway, it’s probably too early to tell whether he was right or not wrong. Marx, instead, challenges us, like God challenged Job, tests us out, tries to get us to live up to the promise and possibility of what he laid before us, of what he saw resided inside us.

I hope this won’t give JK Rowling the idea to put Goblin-Bolshevism in that new Harry Potter game people won’t shut up about
Subversive politics is when idealism
This is what happens when your Netflix is slow, and while waiting for “Half-Blood Prince” to load, you skim through the Wikipedia article on Lenin.
