This might be the first time I've ever seen Peterson interact with a Marx scholar outside of Zizek. There was that bit in the debate where Zizek asked specifically who Peterson meant when he talked about all the Marxist academics. Peterson didn't seem to have any specific names, so Zizek offered the name David Harvey, who Peterson didn't recognize. It's surreal it took him this long to finally talk to Harvey.
It's also surreal how Peterson seems shocked there's a Marxist academic. I know universities in imperialist countries are these goofball neoliberal class reproduction factories, but Marxism is a main pillar of any humanities department and will get passing mentions in fields like sociology. I vaguely remember reading a statistic in school that something like 15% of philosophy research papers written in the USA are explicitly Marxist. So it's not some unknown hidden secret thing.

I've yet to meet an irl philosophy student who wasn't a Marxist. It's like he was right.
