They do. It’s the same dynamic as Hoteps and online Nazis.

Reminder that the Anglo brainstem is simply unable to comprehend Marxism, which is a mystical teaching from the East (the Continent). It’s not Alice’s fault.
You’ve got a bunch of guys who think they’re civilized geniuses fighting against brainless barbarians, tricking them wouldn’t be hard with enough study
This sums up the American foreign policy project in general. People assume it’s because of the Conservatives/modern GOP but it’s actually deeply part of the “Progressive” movement. “Woke imperialism” has been then game of the game for 400 years because we Americans are morally righteous, a shining beacon of hope for all mankind, and we’re gonna come save you and make sure you live a moral life too.
Ban every veteran from public employment and political office for life and put them all under FBI surveillance imo. Only way to be safe from our biggest domestic threat.
People give Los Angeles and Las Vegas a lot of shit for being uninhabitable wastelands, but Houston is 1000x worse. The entire city is built on a paved over swamp that tries to reassert itself everytime there’s a heavy rain (i.e. multiple times a year). Too little water is a much easier technical challenge to solve than too much water. Not to mention that the sprawl makes LA look like Tokyo.
The Post-Keynesian arguments are the same dreck as earlier Keynesians, namely that the market allocates resources based on “marginal utility” or “preference”. These people live in a fantasy land where the market magically determines the value of all products, sets the price accordingly, and there’s an omnipotent force (the State/central bank) who is supposed to step in if Mr. Market isn’t doing his self-care and keeping up with therapy.
As TankieTanuki said, these criticisms ultimately get back to the idea that price is value, which is something that Marxists fundamentally disagree with (fwiw, stock market gurus like Warren Buffett are on the same side as Marx, “value investing” requires price/value mismatches on a fundamental level!).
The ecological economics theory from Wiki sounds like some ecofash b.s. on first read. “Labor doesn’t create value because labor takes energy to produce” - no shit, that’s the “v” part of the “c+v+s”. “Cultural differences can change the use-value of goods” - yes to some extent, but this sounds an awful lot like “those primitive people don’t value those resources”.
Turns out war is a lot harder when you’re not shooting at family parties and kids in school.
