    Necessary reminder that despite knowing his economic shit, Paul Cockshott is a turbo Terf piece of shit and will have to be thoroughly reeducated after the revolution.

      Is there a source for this? I've seen multiple people mention it but I've only ever read his "nerd" work.

        If you search hexbear for his name you'll find a number of posts about him being reactionary.

        I'm not an expert on the guy but apparently he gets openly homophobic and transphobic on Facebook.

        if we can’t learn about or acknowledge the correct analyses of Marxist economics without indulging transphobes then we might as well become maga communists. paul doesn’t have any excuses for his lack of willingness to learn or respect the basic humanity of trans people

          I am not terribly familiar with Cockshott one way or the other, but even supposing a very pessimistic interpretation of him, screaming suicide-baiting on a forum he will never view doesn't help anyone.
