    The natural sciences are plenty eurocentric too (look up Kitasato Shibasaburo, or Bose, or many others who were denied credit for their work) but social science is even moreso

    Using Marx and admitting he is a very important person is okay, and so is doing communism without reading or specifically caring about Marx, but seriously insinuating that "communism was invented by Marx" is utterly moronic regardless of who does it imo. But so is hating Marx

    It reminds me a lot of permaculture and homesteading stuff, where everything you'll find on the internet is credited to 2 or 3 anglos from 1985, which it's fine that they did good stuff and ima let you finish, but also this was the de facto mode of farming for 99% of humanity before European capitalists took over--it's them that reinvented the wheel
