Today’s neoMarxism or Born Again Marxism eschews historical forces and inevitability for simplistic oppositional dogma of oppressor versus oppressed.

This ludicrous presentism is what boggles my mind. Childish, infantile, and narcissistic in the extreme — it lacks any ambitions or romance formerly found attractive in classical Marxism.

And it’s war against excellence and hierarchies is only further proof of inainity, opportunistically infusing PoMo lies into the metaphysics of pablum.

No, it’s not the only kind of Marxism there is today. I know Marxists who call themselves Marxists (particularly in academia) who espouse various refinements on Marxism that change some of the original premises. Just to take one example, there’s this, as opposed to what might be called orthodox Marxism (what I called “classical Marxism” in my comment). It all falls under the general heading of “Marxism,” a word I actually don’t prefer to use. I prefer “leftism” or “far-leftism” because it covers a lot more.

There’s a reason some of the founders of BLM called themselves “trained Marxists,” though.

Still in good form, I see.

You haven’t taken exception to the Slime Mold article yet:

Go on… Be a Fun Guy!

That’s the only kind of Marxism there is.

You’ll find no greater fan of the Blame the Puritan Strain than me.

You people are hopeless. You can’t manage to assess this without insulting someone else, in these cases, someone quite dissimilar to the creatures under review here.

The phenomenon he’s describing has zip to do with biology.

Follow the Twitter excerpt through to the original article. It’s fascinating.

All part of the service, Folks.

“…can we all agree that the official state religion of America In Name Only should be called “Dinduism”? It’s got a caste system and everything — we’re the Dalits.”

For any Normies of Good Will present here today, a ‘Dindu’ is one of your Magical Black Shamans. Named thusly because are often heard to utter the word ‘Dindu’ when approached by the Polizei: “I dindu that!”

And sure enough, turns out that they Dindu That, and even if they Done Did Du That, it’s your fault anyway, you Horrid Bad White ™ Untouchable!

Description of the remainder of the Caste System as currently instituted is left as an Exercise for the Reader.

So what? Well, the SCOTUS held that Mr. Caniglia’s rights were violated, by a vote of 9 – 0; but only after two other courts found in favor of the police. Should we feel good that the SCOTUS is still capable of doing the right thing, or depressed that two other courts could not figure that out?

While police departments vary, many have no mechanism for returning confiscated firearms without the owner filing a lawsuit in court.
