All one word.
Whenever somebody has a problem with something that Mark says,
they can disagree with the guy on a number of different levels, but it's usually in one of two places.
They either disagree with communism as a political ideology,
or they disagree with the economic inferences that Marx makes,
you know, the way that he viewed markets, how they work, people within markets, et cetera.
But one important thing to understand before we move forward throughout history and talk about all the different thinkers over the years that have spent decades of their life trying to prove to people
that Marx is wrong.
One important thing to understand is that a good way to organize all of these critiques of Marx
that we're going to have to cover is to understand
that there is a very real connection between the beliefs that Marx held about economics and the political ideology that he created and espoused.
One sort of justifies the other.
And I think you know which is which.
It's actually really interesting to think about how it relates to us and the way that we think about things,
you know, how the,
how the beliefs that we have about how economic systems work are often directly related to who we're willing to vote for in an election.
