The people running Ks usually had trollish neocon or objectivist personal politics.
When you use phrases like “the economic debate” it sounds like you know nothing about policy debate structure, and just want to dump on critical theory for your own personal politics here.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoI was asking about critical theory outside the policy debate structure. Saying "the economic debate" may have been misleading in that context. What I mean was: Marxism is primarily an economic theory. But if I were a Marxist at a university in the 1990s, I doubt I would have won very many arguments about how flawed capitalism was, and how Marxism was a better way to structure an economy - not after the Soviet Union collapsed, and China embraced capitalism. So if I were such a Marxist, I might look for non-economic grounds on which to argue for Marxism.
