Reading for an exam and the author just states:
the structuralist thinking of Marx and Durkheim, for example, operates within a largely positivistic framework.
Seriously, the more of these mainstream academia books I read the more I feel like none of these people have actually spent any real time reading Marx or trying to understand marxist theory.
On positivism and Marxism from my other self-appointed readings
No point to this post really, I just feel increasingly disillusioned about my ability to ever write a Marxist dissertation in Western academia, one that would actually pass. There aren’t even anyone to teach me or guide me in it in my field, the most Marxist guy I’ve found is firmly a Frankfurt school type.
Conservatives are pretty dumb but there are not fully blind
There’s a reason anti intellectualism is a big thing in the usa ,and I am not gonna say becoming big because I feel that it already has
western academia has a lot of bs ,people can be and are very stupid but when it goes to the degree of “don’t believe you lying eyes” its when you reach the point of no return
