    "yes, I am a leftist, yes I know it's an economic theory, no I haven't read any of the fundamental economic texts, yes I make educational videos on that field, no i do not have an understanding of economics."

      I know it’s an economic theory

      No, being a leftist is when you don't hate women and minorities.

      But seriously though, from all the unflattering caricatures she made of both anarchists and MLs and general lack of principled takes on the economic side of things I assume that Contra is basically a succdem. What kinda of economical knowledge do you need to be a succdem? Just say that socialized healthcare won't make the country implode, because it seems to work everywhere else and that's that.

      Reading Marx isn't a prerequisite to being left wing but also Contra has, if this tweet is to be believed, read quite a fair amount of Marx and studied him at a university level
