What kind of electoralism is it, proletarian or bourgeois, idealist or materialist? Do they declare solidarity with the occupied third world, or do they sympathize with the naval gazing narcissism of the first world labor aristocracy?

The fact that Bad Faith believes "self driving cars are the future" and "we can go full clean energy without fossil fuels" tells us they're just merely woke liberals who don't know about the effects of resource extraction. How can you be a Marxist with less of an understanding of basic physics than papa Karl? It's impossible to be a materialist if you're as delusional as the Elon Musk death cult redditors

    I'm pretty sure they are saying that people like Brie lack the experience of being an underpaid worker. Which is true about her and a lot of people.

    Her issues are more PMC, as Marxists, we should understand how and why that is. /u/purr made a great argument for the material causes of Brie's opinions.

      This place really must be full of libs, because any leftist would know that you can't throw a rock in this country without hitting a job with poor conditions and low pay. Plenty of people like Brie -- people who are now working a decently comfortable office job -- have experience with shitty jobs. If you worked somewhere in high school you almost certainly had one of those jobs. If you worked somewhere in college you likely had one of those jobs. If you worked an unpaid internship you definitely had one of those jobs. Journalism is notorious for having a few cushy prestige jobs at the very top and a long, lean tail.

      Which is true about her

      It's amazing we have so many people in here who know every detail of this person's life.

        So you're just angry people are criticizing her and don't really have anything to add, do you?

          I'm saying your criticisms are horseshit. You're making shit up. You don't have a clue if she worked a low-paying job at some point, yet you're assuming she hasn't (and, implicitly, that it's impossible to legitimately advocate for socialism unless you've been poor). You claim that "people like Brie" categorically have no experience with low-paying jobs despite literally millions of examples to the contrary (i.e., people who make nice money now but didn't always). None of this is debatable -- you're just wrong.

          And yeah, I get angry when I see wrecker behavior like this, because making shit up about other leftists is so obviously harmful. How the fuck are we supposed to get anything done if we spend our time baselessly attacking each other?

            Defending BJG is more "wrecker shit" that anything else right now.

            If you care about leftist unity, you should be consider about people with voices focusing so much time and energy on "wrecker shit" like FTV.
