      Love when Marxists say “this is a science!” and if you ask “ah so we’re going to make casual models generating precise predictions we can test and iteratively improve?” it’s clarified: no not a *bourgeois* science, the other, better, kind, where you mainly just reinterpret Hegel.

      What if I told you that the meaning of the word science isn't stable but changes over time, context and historical traditions (wissenschaft vs. science)? Would it blow your mind?

          “What if I told you…” is a shit, cliché formulation, generally, but it’s exceptionally bad when his tweet makes clear the sense in which he’s using the word “science.”

          Replying to @known_villain @HeerJeet @lastpositivist

          His tweet specifically made the implication that the way he used it was the only correct way. That's where he shows his lack of seriousness

          If you told me that, I would answer that even if you wanna pull the “natural philosophy” card, Marxism is still as much a pseudo-science as phrenology
