This is such a classic tankie response. "I basically have no real arguments, but just read these 10 books about theory, trust me bro they agree with me".

That's exactly how my conspiracy minded friend argued with me back in the day: "Just trust me, I can't explain why you're wrong, but you have to watch this 2 hour Youtube video with me and then you'll understand why the earth is flat".

If you can't even give me real arguments that support your position you either haven't properly understood the literature you're talking about or are knowingly lying.

    Just so you know his argument was a good faith one. He posed his opinion then backed it up with actual first party documentation on the specific topic. Do you have any idea how hard that is to actually do in philosophy? The person should receive a legitimate physical award to sit on a shelf for making the first cogent researched argument ever posted on the internet. And I am only being hyperbolic about that last bit.

    Ah piss off, you literally wrote an opinion that's just straight up wrong and directly contradicts Marx's own writings, and now you're getting angry that I didn't spend 100x more effort than you writing up some wall of text that nobody is going to read.

    Sorry for the absolutely unreasonable suggestion to actually read and learn before acting like an expert on the topic.
