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?"

    The Ben Shapiro phenomenon is just a result of right-libertarian think tank funding, which ultimately stems from fossil fuel billionaires. It's just the YouTube/podcast/internet propaganda arm of that ecosystem that's meant to target young, terminally-online, white Americans. Ben is just a failed writer who sincerely believes in what he says, and is paid to not question it too seriously. And why would he? I mean, besides getting embarrassed by everyone on the internet regularly.
