The “Problem” with Marxism is that eventually the following you’ve cultivated will grow tired of ideological debates, as their material conditions worsen, which then will get taken out on you in the form of anger - should they be unable to find a proper outlet to satisfy their growing needs.
This is not a moral judgement. I’m just making a statement, which this episode will be unable to relieve. (IMO) At the end of the day if you really are a Marxist, you understand Material conditions dictate over ideology, not the other way around. Especially during times of austerity you have to accept that there’s gonna be a lot of angry struggling people who might be a bit angry at you for having “Treats”. Can they do anything about this? No I don’t think so it’s a global international audience and they’re a podcast, forget about it. Idk it sucks really, do I have any ideas of how to solve this? No, so who am I to judge?
