This is an excellent summary of my problems with Marxism.

Marxism still treats people like numbers on a spreadsheet and not as actual living individuals.

It depends on the school, honestly.

Economics works best at explaining "Why this happened, and why you shouldn't do it again."

It's less great at charting positive action.

Much easier to point out what causes a massive fire; much harder to figure out how to design an entire working city.

I’m used to seeing something funny, stupid, and/or angry here. I wasn’t expecting to find something I genuinely agree with.

He does not need to ask because he was part of the colonial police force?
