especially as you could provide strong counterexamples
like with Japan growing rapidly under heavy state intervention and experiencing anemic growth after liberalization
or how in Chile poverty skyrocketed and growth was stagnant during Pinochet's administration and after his laissez faire policies were scaled back by the succession of center left governments that came after Chile started growing and poverty started dropping
or how most Russians are poorer today than they were 20 years ago under socialism
but I'm not Japanese or Chilean
how is "dot or feather?" even remotely offensive?
the specific reasons why India has grown is because of a change in trade policy and loosening of burdensome private sector regulations in an economy reliant on the private sector
I'm Anglo Celtic Roman
they still pursue dirigiste policies to a degree
@obrallaghan It's not, it's very funny

um, that's because it is
why do you think that
It is quite literally an application of Marxist theory to social structure
is it because of oppressor/oppressed memes
No, it's because of my experience dealing with progressives
what does "application of Marxist theory to social structure" mean
Replace economics with social structure, replace bourgeoisie with white men, replace proletariat with minorities.
you could do the same thing with early liberals who were an influence on marx's class theory
the core of what you're getting at is that an anlysis of power dynamics = marxism
which is silly, the core of marxism has to do with a materialist interpretation of historical development and the role class struggle plays in this development
no, progressive "manifestos" and other similar writings are eerily similar to "down with the bourgeoisie" type stuff.
i don't think superificial similarities between polemics constitutes these ideologies being the same
I think this gives an accurate description of Liberalism, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293022642230001676/434084687103787019/image.jpg
I'm not saying their the same, but they are eerily similar
literally can be used in a loose manner of meaning
Which is what I was doing when using the word "literally"
Meaning they are very similar and are against several of the same tenants of liberalism.
so when oldschool liberals like adolphe blanqui were writing about how there are two "classes", those who live by their own labor and oppressors who live on the labor of others
could you not just use the same example you have used with marxism and progressivism here
just replace the parasites with white men and those who live by their own labor with minorities
