let's go to the source......ah yes "good and evil," the principal antagonism of marxist thoughtpic.twitter.com/aVN6cXaBoh
i cannot get over Logic Man writing a refutation of marxism after reading less marx than most stoners i knew in high school
The post wasn’t intended as a “refutation of Marxism” or of anything else. It says both conflict theories and mistake theories can be valuable. And says both theories can be eithe left or right, and barely mentions Marxism at all except to give one example at the beginning.
A lot of people took the post to be referring to Marxism since I caricature it as “the people” vs. “the elites”, but this is how eg Steve Bannon frames things too. It’s not about any political group, it’s about a way of thinking about the world.
A survey (see http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/01/26/ssc-survey-data-on-models-of-political-conflict/ … ) found that Marxists were generally the most likely out of seven political groups looked at to endorse conflict theory style descriptions, but it wasn’t by much and every group had some people who used each perspective.
I don’t take credit for the framework. Is from a Marxist friend who reframed conflict theory of sociology. I’ve never claimed to be a Marx expert - have read few works & commentaries- but not sure how expert you have to be before writing blog post that mentions something twice.
I think the post is much less applicable to Marx personally than to a some modern politics, sometimes but not always associated with leftists. If you’re interested, there’s some good further discussion, including pushback from Marxist readers, athttp://slatestarcodex.com/2018/01/29/highlights-from-the-comments-on-conflict-vs-mistake/ …
I’ve never met or talked to David Brooks and I have no idea why he cited me or whether he agrees with me on any of this.
...I would tell you to read the "Mistake Theory vs. Conflict Theory" post for this one, but apparently it hasn't helped.
