Like my base assumption is that she's wrong. If you think the PMC is an actual class then you're also only one step away from 🤡

    Exactly.

    I mean, Marx was a highly educated professional.

    There are some silly ideas about training, professionalism, and politics.

      Yup that's who I want running the show. People with no training in anything, no sense of professionalism, and no understanding of politics.

      Like it’s ok to be “professional”. You can be “professional” and leftist. It’s weird to pretend and cosplay like you aren’t.

      Marx class position was a peculiar one. Pretty much academic and then lifetime revolutionary and journalist later on his main income was from Engel's and as such he was in his class position more akin to an artist than a journalist. However individual class positions mean little, as when quantity itself becomes a new quality does the analysis makes sense. E.g. the first proletarian wasn't a class in themselves, only the mass of proletarians created a class.
