Here's their feedback on a final paper that included some Marxist analysis:
"Marxist jargon (species-being, etc.) does not work in democracies due to free speech and dialectical culture, which communist party theorists cannot stand. "
No hate against actual anarchists. This guy is probably just a ancap/libertarian that wanted to sound cooler to his students?
POSTMODERN NEOMARXIST ACADEMIA STRIKES AGAIN!
Isn't it from Feuerbach, originally? Marx certainly expanded upon the concept tho
In the sense that dialectics was Hagel and the LTV was Adam Smith. Feuerbach had a more mainstream view of human nature as we know it, that it's some mythical thing unique to us that could be called a soul, and Marx instead rooted our difference within social/material conditions. We're not gifted children so much as we are an animal that abstracts things out of necessity to build a society alienated from the natural world.
:the-more-you-know:
"The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it."
