he just does short posts occasionally I believe honestly I wish he wouldn't, this doesn't seem healthful for him :/
-
Oh no! I thought you just linked to an old post of his. Then I looked at the date.

I quite liked Freddie personally back when he was on twitter, and I like his clarity here
-
Particularly about Marxism, which in particular (and ironically) always comes off as something Marxists are insulted anyone without 12 PhDs in theory would dare define
-
I like Freddie too, and yeah this is probably a good honest explication
-
Freddie was always the online left's best hope at convincing anyone who aren't just here to feel cool. Always willing to read his stuff

I guess that's fair as a concise statement of the idealized reading of Marx and the kind of Utopian thinking it leads to. Why anyone thinks Utopianism is anything besides a vile curse is beyond me. The word Utopia literally means "not a place".
-
yeah there's utopian marxism and there's scientific marxism and the scientific side of it is obvs biased in "ways the historical necessity that will make capitalism come is biased and socialism is the solution" I doubt marxists are alone in bias, but freddie's...
-
explanation is a bit of a mix that omits that sort of "stages of history" view that is quite common in the utopian take (teleology applied to history doesn't suit him tho) I mean as very sort explainer it's very ok! just that some marxists stop at "fairer" instead of "utopia"
