I mean, you've been around long enough to spot what organised Irish Catholicism is like. Bruenig's response is downright *excessive* compared to our lot...

Bruenig is a white evangelical from Texas who converted to Catholicism as a result of her big brained "exploration of mysticism" in college It's really awful, it's this All Your Powers Combined situation (Catholic + fundie + college hippie)

She is also a Marxist. The NYTimes said 'we need an former evangelical Christian turned Catholic who is also a Marxist because that voice is so gravely underrepresented in NY and beyond' -- lmao.

For a Marxist she seems to only ever attract my attention for being shit about the LGBT spectrum and opinions on popping out all the kids.

She is very clearly not a "Marxist" and it's pretty clear she doesn't support liberation theology or anything like that either She's a conservative Catholic who wants healthcare

"Marxism" has a definition and saying that a conservative Catholic who believes the Church is the custodian of timeless verities qualifies is stretching the definition way beyond any useful meaning Like sure if "Marxism" means "wants healthcare" whatever

M-L is an umbrella term for that political spectrum. Now if you say her socialism extends only to health care, fine. I doubt it does though.

mate, stop. m-l in current use is what the tankies like to call themselves, and in the warsaw pact countries it was a name given to the state-sanctioned version of the orthodoxy. it isn't by any chance a wide umbrella term for people leaning politically to the left.

Yeah the L in Marxism-Leninism specifically means accepting Lenin's controversial philosophy of revolutionary vanguardism that ended up justifying authoritarian rule
