lol. i can only assume you're reading what i posted about capitalism today and assumed im a marxist. which is pretty comical overall.
the overarching theme of conservatives perceiving anyone who ever criticizes them as communist is hardly eye opening. you haven't learned from 1950's mccarthyism.
Not at all. The defining feature of Orthodox Marxism is as follows:
Quote
The characteristics of orthodox Marxism are: A strong version of the theory that the economic base (material conditions) determines the cultural and political superstructure of society. In its most extensive form, this view is called economic determinism, economism and vulgar materialism.
The belief in environmental & economic determinism (
Material determinism) IS orthodox Marxism.
Also, even though I'm too young for that era, McCarthy was right. The pinkos were everywhere and still are.
