Where do you even begin with some of this? It’s all so mangled and stupid.
Some greatest hits from these:
The problem is that as a propaganda tool the labor theory of value needs to function at an individual level so you can tell a worker that their surplus value is being exploited ect. ect. even if the truth is likely much more complicated. Class functions much the same way.
I’ve seen like 14 different theoretical explanations claiming to be from the left for why it’s actually good when store owners shoot looters, including my favorite "Korean store owners weren’t actually shooting at Black looters to kill them and besides this whole thing is a distraction from fighting the white ruling class
Left Twitter doesn’t care about about class in a sociological sense. What it cares about is class in a moral sense
the Marxist definition of “Bourgeoisie” is not the colloquial one.
You need class consciousness before a Marxist analysis of class can be helpful.
the idea of surplus value has also seemed largely pointless in a world filled with jobs which don’t actually contribute to material production
Once a prominent national proletarian leadership emerges in my country I hope the first thing they do is push a 21st century redux of left wing communism: an infantile disorder. It can take the form of a video essay, a recorded speech or some spicy memes, I don’t care. All that matters is that some form of popularly consumed media is disseminated through which the absurdity of their political delusions is thoroughly torn to pieces.
