but if someone thinks economics ends with Marx then that's the person Im talking about.
Find me one classical Marxist on the entire website. Virtually no one thinks this among Marxists, hence why they are mostly Marxist-Leninists. The second name isn't appended just because we like the guy.
Might be worth reading his critiques and expansions of Marx so that it can be appended for the sake of representing a theoretical difference from classical Marxism.
You might be surprised how many times discussions with the group Im talking about think all econ ends with Marx or sometimes Kropotkin. Im not talking about people who are actually well read on Marxist ideologies.
How does that work? He critiques other economists. There's no reason to claim he is where it starts and Im fairly sure he would disagree with that claim.
I was speaking of modern economics. Marx brought together all the correct analysis from different economists, yes, but Marx is better because he made something coherent out of it. The majority of many others opinions at the time were very infantile, as you can see with the critique of utopian socialism. Starting an economics class, one should read the correct and well established analysis before picking through the bones of bad economists with one or two good points marx used. Theres a reason he's one of the most cited people in history.
Liberal thinks the shitty neoclassical economics taught in 99% of universities is economics itself. Imagine my surprise.
I was able to take classes in Marxist economics taught by Marxists.
Why would you be so arrogantly stupid to presume what I know when you haven't met me?
Lmao if you think anyone who mildly critiques capitalism is a marxist, I want to live in your world
Im not talking about critiques of capitalism. Im talking about uneducated "Marxists" whose criticisms are based on that lack of understanding.
There are educated Marxists whose critiques can have value but if someone thinks economics ends with Marx then that's the person Im talking about.

I was shitposting but I always need more bullying to read more theory

Ok if that's what you mean that is fair.
Yes, although I apologize for not clarifying it in my first comment.
Thank you for being civil. It has been rare today here.
Slept through class, huh?
