Seriously tho, 99% of the criticisms that completely deny Marxism I have ever heard came from people whose arguments could simply have been answered by "maybe actually read Marx?"

    it feels appropriate that a capitalist would use the same kind of argument christians use for the existence of god. the one I heard was, "no one knows where the wind comes from" or something.

    now that I think about it, these aren't reasons for anything, they are an appeal to forgo critical thinking. They only make sense if you never ask, "Why can't I know how the leaf falls from the tree and figure out where iit might land?" or maybe, "I'm pretty sure someone with a passable knowledge of first year physics could give me a rough idea."
