it is made with the pretty implicit understanding that they are referring popular economics
Its often stated in proximity to popular economic views. But it only confuses the conversation, as it implies certain sociological behaviors can't be qualified rather than that the current quants are running numbers off cooked books.
Pithy quotes like that should be a jumping off point for a conversation or just meant to provoke thought
Meh. "X is a Religion" always comes off a thought-terminating. It implies that any additional conversation is simply your orthodox view and not a logical thought progression.
You can’t write perfect slogans that 100% describe your ideology or political aims.
True. But you can weed out the shit ones. "X is a Religion" inevitably devolves into some personal attack on the subject expressing the belief. It is an ideological position rather than a material one.
That's before you get into the value of religion as a useful heuristic for navigating complex social situations. Its just a bad phrasing, all around.
“Eat the rich” is another example of such a slogan.
Its a much better slogan because it forms a basis for class consciousness while being implicitly jokular.
