Marxist methodologies are commonly used in social sciences. When conservatives screech about Marxist propaganda in schools, I wonder how much of them are actually aware that yes, an entire academic field utilizes Marx’s theories on an everyday basis, or if it’s just vibes that coincidentally lined up with reality to a degree
When I was first learning about Marxism, I noticed the ideas that many talking points spawned from. It does seem like a lot of these talking points were drafted by someone intimately familiar with Marxism who deliberately set out to distort them... which is extremely likely what actually happened.
It's almost as if, instead of a footnote as most liberal academics would like to have you think, acceptance or rejection of Marxism (or aspects of it) is THE defining philosophy of the 20th and 21st century. It is almost as if every other modern social science was spawned from either trying to verify, disprove or create an alternative framework to avoid dealing with marxism.
Mark Millie testified that he was required to read Mao “Tse Tung” (not Zedong, as commonly referred in the west) during his military academy days (the context was that BLM is not a radical communist organization lol).
