    That's simply not true and strongly suggests that you either did not understand who I am talking about or ypu have no education in the field.

    Im talking about the people who come to Marxism by deciding it is correct and then seek to only pursue information or sources that back Marxism rather than learning about the various flaws that absolutely exist in Marxism as they do in any ideologically driven perspective. If you actually study econ you should have some grasp on the flaws of a system in broad terms.

        The fact that you are assigning an ideology to neoclassical economists strongly suggests you have no formal education in the field. Most economists abandoned the idea of "schools" in the 1960s.

          Fun fact: Everyone has an ideology. Just yelling "I abandon my ideology" doesn't change that. Go ask an anthropologist they'll explain it too you.

          You really need to look into the concept of cultural hegemony. Your ignorance as you speak with authority is embarrassing but it isnt an innate quality you have and can be corrected.

            You see, the Political Scientist major brainpan is maladapted to reflection, and quite simply incapable of grasping such remarkable and sophisticated concepts like "Hegemony."

      learning about the various flaws that absolutely exist in Marxism

      Marxists are more aware of these flaws than you, lol. Learn what scientific socialism is and how it connects to developing and refining theory.
