MBAs are horseshit, some basic business management stuff and a whole lot of "how to maximize value." They mostly teach you to look at every asset (human assets too) and make sure you are extracting the absolute maximum amount of profit from it you can get.
It is for real Marxism but what if applied to evil.
Labor studies, cultural studies, and Anthropology all have a high concentration of radicals. That said, a lot of them will invoke Marx and then shift to talking about what companies can do to be more responsible. The academy has a lot of marxists who have to be liberals to get paid, it's a weird dynamic.
The only reason capitalist ideological hegemony demonizes Marx and discourages people from consuming communist literature is because of the danger of "infection" where the reader might become outraged at the conditions that sustain their lives under capitalism, for various reasons. Otherwise it's quite useful to read Marx, even if you're evil.
I had fun getting mine, but it was a 12 month program and I was a grad assistant so I just sort of fucked around drinking and studying for a year. Def good to understand how the enemy thinks tho, and it demystifies a lot of horseshit.
Also MBA opened a lot of non-business possibilities for me. I now work in environmental restoration and management.
Not an insignificant amount of that. I'm working for the EPA though so it is mostly science based and measurable results. Nothing that'll save the arctic sea ice, but def stuff that'll make local water features healthier and reduce the numbers of invasive species. Helps when you aren't in an org dependent on fundraising or profit too.
I am a Marxist with an MBA

Also a Marxist with an MBA. MBAs definitely don't know anything about Marxism; shit, they mostly buy into neoclassical economic fairy tales.
They probably put that picture of Foucault up to feign sophistication.
replace foucault with any other black and white picture of a thoughtful bald guy with glasses and it will be the same for them

Although I would caution you to really do your homework before jumping into this, law school might be worth considering.

If you do a post grad in almost any of the humanities, you'll certainly draw from cultural studies and anthropology.
You could probably branch into public admin or something for an MA.
That actually looks interesting. I do have a lot of interest in socialist economic planning (for which I have a lot more to learn)

Most of it is greenwashing.
