That no one who has read Marx can have significant criticisms of his work.

[kelseyfrog]

There is a certain legitimacy that comes with reading a work one wants to criticize, no?

[racional]

But that wasn't what you said.

[kelseyfrog]

Sorry, but this has a certain, "I'm going to disagree with everything you say"-vibe which then devolves into not really making a point

[racional]

You were starting to get a bit slippery there with that attempted rewording of that rather peculiar claim you made.

That was my point, stated much more clearly this time.

[kelseyfrog]

I'm really getting a sense that you're trying to catch me in some sort of contradiction. Why don't you get curious instead? That's the sort of community we're trying to create.

[racional]

Okay, let's try curiosity then:

"Didya really mean to say that there's literally no one walking this Earth with meaningful criticisms of Marx who has in fact also read what he's written? "Without being hyperbolic", no less?" 'Cause it sounds like an awfully weird and authoritarian thing to say."

Inquiring minds want to know.
