What happens with the Left, Corporate America and Trump urging the Fed to keep the gas pedal floored on money printing?

Not only do the Left and Corporate America agree on the Cultural Marxist agenda [c=#BF0000]https://tinyurl.com/y49v55gb[/c] -- they both want the money printing machine in the basement of the Eccles building to keep running on overdrive. [c=#BF0000]https://tinyurl.com/yynkf92b[/c]

You do realize Marxism wants to do away in entirely with corporations, right? I mean, leftists refer to socialists, anarchists and communists. All the above want to stop private ownership entirely, hence no corporations.
@basilfawlty89 All I can ask you to do is please read the linked article before lecturing me on what is known as vulgar (basic) Marxism.

@beckychandler cultural Marxism is a bullshit Nazi conspiracy theory from Kulturbolschewismus. I don't take Nazi bullshit seriously.

@basilfawlty89 “Cultural Marxism” is a dogwhistle that means “jews”.
@OggggO Every uncomfortable thing is now a "dog whistle" and if you can tack antisemistism on it, all the better.

@beckychandler Wow you are boring.

@beckychandler your entire premise is flawed even. Postmodernists are not Marxists and many of the things you complain about actually is in agreement with postmodernism.

Marxism is a modernist philosophy.
@OggggO how about this dog whistle
@basilfawlty89 Don't waste your time trying to reason with someone who thinks right wing conspiracy trumps reality and facts.

I asked one of her ilk if they had even heard of Gramsci. They actually asked me why that name was relevant. They have no clue.
@basilfawlty89 The intersection of postmodernism and Marxism is a curious thing. The postmodernists started using Marxist ideology in a clever way -- instead of pitting the proletariat against the bourgeois, they started pitting the oppressed against the oppressor and there are a plethora of groups which can be designated as oppressed and oppressor e.g. intersectionality.

Whether there is a true synthesis of critical theory and postmodern theory, they both fundamentally have the same goal -- the destruction of the institutions of Western civilization. And it has been quite successful.

@beckychandler what rubbish. Anarchists have been for oppressed vs oppressor since the beginning. There's no evil scheme. Anarchism has always been against imposed hierarchies. Most Marxists reject anything other than class struggle.

You live in a strange world if you think Marxists Ally with corporations.
@basilfawlty89 She is very confused speaking as a marxist I have no idea what she thinks supports anything she said.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I know. I'm an Anarchist, and it's like she thinks that leftists are all the same. She probably thinks liberals are left wingers.
@basilfawlty89 Yes, I see you are an "anarchist" There are all different flavors of anarchism, I assume you are not an anarcho-capitalist. But, I have never understood how an anarchist can be a Marxist, except in the dream of the final utopian day after the struggles when the state withers away. I think most of the intersection between anarchist and Marxist was simply a matter of political labeling in the early twentieth century of groups --not consistent ideology.

@beckychandler Anarchists aren't Marxist and Anarcho-Capitalism is an oxymoron as private ownership is imposed hierarchy. I'm an Anarcho-Syndicalist.

@basilfawlty89 Once again, we agree, but you can't bear to admit it. "anarcho-capitalism was originally a label for the opposite of what Marxists called "monopoly capitalism" --which is what we now have -- which goes under the name Corporatism, crony capitalism, etc. The marriage of the state and capital started almost immediately after the birth of the modern state at the Peace of Westphalia.

Anarcho--Capitalism as an ideology became popular with the writing of economist Murray Rothbard. It is a very libertarian variant of the Austrian school of Economics. The Anarcho -Capitalists advocate the total abolition of the state.

I don't really see many anarchists on either the right or the left these days.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow If people would like to know Gramsci, there is no better source than the works of Mayor Pete's Dad, the late Joseph Buttigieg, who was a Marxist professor at Notre Dame, and an authority on Gramsci.

You’re wasting your time with these clowns. One is a racist and the other a dullard. You pick. @beckychandler
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@jackjjackson and you are what exactly, my poor puffed up popinjay? A trump supporting moron that thinks the world revolves around his country like his special lines in the sand are unique? You barely know anything about politics or political theory outside that which satisfies your infantile bias.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@beckychandler Rothbardian admitted Libertarian was stolen from the left and that AynCraps aren't Anarchists. Private ownership is imposed hierarchy.

If I recall you gate democracy so this is no shocker you supporting robber barons.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson repeating your bs on multiple threads does not make it true. You are the one posting endless xenophobic rants a nd dog whistles but somehow calling you on it makes me magically racist.
@basilfawlty89 She claims Hillary Clinton supposedly has been supporting the cultural marxist agenda for 30 years(where's the evidence) is proof it is real and a leftist movement which tells you all you need to know. A Clinton is only left wing compared to Mussolini.

I posted one picture and your going off the deep end yet again 😂 @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

@jackjjackson you know, adults don't think trolling is an acceptable argument.
