She married a Marxist scholar of course she understands dialectic materialism. You do live in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

She was telling her dipshit lib kids not to be idealist. Critical support to mama Harris.

    Kamala is a Machiavellian crypto-Marxist operator that is playing the long game to take over the United States government. She sounds so wooden and Xan’d out because this stealth operation is so demanding on her mind and body.

    We’ve already had confirmation the White House pharmacy was basically being treated like an open bar, so you can just imagine the shit Kamala has been on since day one of the administration. She probably doesn’t even know what year it is. I wouldn’t.

    In the fall of 1962, at a meeting of the Afro-American Association—a students’ group at Berkeley whose members would go on to give structure to the discipline of Black studies, propose the holiday of Kwanzaa, and help establish the Black Panther Party—Shyamala met a graduate student in economics from Jamaica, Donald J. Harris, who was that day’s speaker.[9] According to Donald Harris, who is now an emeritus professor of economics at Stanford University, “We talked then, continued to talk at a subsequent meeting, and at another, and another."[9] In 1963 they were married without following the convention of introducing Harris to Shyamala’s parents beforehand or having the ceremony in her hometown.[5] In the later 1960s, Donald and Shyamala took their daughters, Kamala, then four or five years old, and Maya, two years younger, to newly independent Zambia, where Shyamala’s father, Gopalan, was on an advisory assignment.[5] After Shyamala divorced Donald in the early 1970s, she took her daughters to India several times to visit her parents in Chennai, where they had retired.[5][10]

    [Donald] Harris’s economic philosophy was critical of mainstream economics and questioned orthodox assumptions. He was once described as a “Marxist scholar”.

    Harris’s research and publications have focused on exploring the process of capital accumulation and its implications for economic growth with the aim of proving that economic inequality and uneven development are inevitable properties of economic growth in a market economy.[22] From this standpoint, he has sought to assess the traditions of economic study inherited from the classical economists and Karl Marx as well as modern contributions while engaging in related economic studies of various countries’ experience.

    Harris is said to work in the tradition of Post-Keynesian Economics.[24][25] He has acknowledged the works of Joan Robinson, Maurice Dobb, Piero Sraffa, Michal Kalecki, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, and W. Arthur Lewis as influences upon his work.

    For the longest time I had no idea that this was a Kamala Harris quote, I just misremembered the Mao quote about correct ideas falling out of the sky and thought this was it and it was making a resurgence

    I just remembered Kamala’s husband - Douglas Emhoff exists. I’m surprised Biden hasn’t used him to speak out about the difficult situation in Gaza. He’s the first Jewish spouse of an American president or vice president. Libs love that shit. I’m sure he’s on the same fucking page as the rest of Biden World - “Israel has a right to yada yada…” Or am I wrong?

    I don’t think it’s a hot take, people just clowned on it because Kamala’s delivery, as always, was goofy as hell.
