how on earth is it "revolutionary" to express "the current economic system that dominates 95% of all countries on earth with little to no challenge is actually just fine"
that is the opposite of "revolutionary"
- hotdogscout 3y agoDifferent spaces have different cultural values and taboos. It's revolutionary for an Anglo-Saxon educational setting, I'd imagine, because I'd infer Marxism is enforced as a moral standard by a significant number of teachers in some schools. It's a leftist moral pocket inside the US. Muslims would be a conservative moral pocket. Saying gays should die is taboo in most of the country but not inside most islamic religious gatherings. Etc.
- wolverine876 3y agoYou imagine and infer but do you have direct evidence? The only place I've heard that argument is right-wing propaganda (i.e., not direct evidence), though I don't have enough experience or direct evidence myself to rule it out. > Saying gays should die is taboo in most of the country but not inside most islamic religious gatherings. Again, any direct evidence? I'm pretty sure that is false. Note the Christian scripture and some leaders say similar things, but the vast majority of Christians do not.
- gigatree 3y ago“Revolutionary” is relative to the context it’s in. It doesn’t matter if the rest of the world is capitalist if academia is Marxist. Also - the world isn’t capitalist for ideological reasons. You have to work hard against nature to destroy the notion of personal property.
