A Young Marxist Feeling Hobsbawm

This Stranger's insistence on continuing to employ Mr. Mudede is the reason I went from being a regular reader of the Slog to only occasionally checking in. What is this crap? It reads like a self-indulgent B-/C+ midterm paper.

Marxists have such a selective view of history. No mention of all the countries that tried it and utterly failed. In fact, none succeeded. They ended up embracing market economies. Except Cuba. A failed Marxist dictatorship that will end up following suit eventually.

Jesus fucking christ @2. Marxism IS NOT Communism. It is a way of seeing the world-past, present, and future. It is not a fucking blueprint for economy or goverment.

"The 80s were the end of a world. Its hours and days detailed the sunset of the 20th century, which opened in 1917."
So you've always been awful, then? The last couple years aren't you slipping into your dotage, but are actually representative?

No one at the Stranger has publicly acknowledged why Chuckie is allowed to bleat his insecurities (namely, that no one will believe he's a literate African unless he quotes passages at great length of books/articles normal people don't care to read). Maybe he sucks great cock. Is there another qualification for being employed at the Stranger?

A quick look at the top financial elite then and now might suggest that yes, the 1980s became the 1940s of the movie "Brazil".
