Without getting into a big fight, Marxist-Leninist Philosophy is not, like, general philosophy in the conceptual sense.

The idea that you need to be familiar with Hegel as a prerequisite means you’re looking at graduate level classes if we’re taking it seriously.

Just to add to your “no big fight” observation:

What in some countries is grad studies, is in other places undergrad, and in a personal high point, high school extension studies. In contemporary rich country education systems, it’s not just grade inflation, it’s very low expectations of the student population’s capabilities, in my opinion.

>contemporary rich country education systems
