What Marxists look like when they deploy doctrinal pedantries to assert that a failed Marxist regime wasn't "real Marxism"...
Remember that time we published a paper testing citations of Marx in English, German, and French, but you assumed it was only English because you didn't read the paper before commenting?

@PhilWMagness 2007 Stiglitz praised Hugo Chavez policies. 👀👀👀
@PhilWMagness I began hearing it in some law lectures before I graduated. It's a fun pejorative that they like to throw at Bill Clinton, for instance, because he wasn't socialist enough.
The discourse on the left and now some elements of the populist right regarding so-called "neoliberalism" is deeply broken and fundamentally dishonest on multiple fronts. Yes, as @PhilWMagness rightly points out, it's not a real thing, as in, it's not an actual school of coherent…
Ever notice how almost nobody talked about "neoliberalism" until it became a fashionable topic on the academic left in the 2000s when they started claiming that it had secretly taken over the world economy several decades prior and was the source of everything they disliked?
By that logic, the Jews who voted Nixon and Reagan "made common cause with Pat Buchanan."
In David Austin Walsh's new book, he accuses a long list of Jewish conservatives of "making common cause with antisemites." His evidence? They attended a 1953 dinner gala, and anti-semites such as Merwin Hart attended the same event. This is an interesting charge because it…
@PhilWMagness I can’t tell you how many leftists I have run into who claim/claimed “what do you have at a gathering when one is a NAZI? Answer a gathering of NAZIs.” Then they not only excuse, they celebrate NAZI level antisemitism in their circles. I have no respect for humans who do that.
@PhilWMagness To my embarassment I only learned a few years ago that some people now call THEMSELVES "neoliberals". I had understood it only as a Marxian insult for the sane left.
@PhilWMagness @JosephEStiglitz I remember this well because I got in trouble around this time at work for refusing an assignment at Citgo because of Chavez At the time Stiglitz was roundly praising him
Oh, it works baby!!
Forty-odd years after neoliberalism took hold it’s clear it doesn’t work. In fact, it never had either a robust theory or the data to back up its claims. Time to introduce a new, more freeing capitalism that allows all people to live up to their potential. That’s what I do in my…
@PhilWMagness @JosephEStiglitz Venezuela: socialist miracle turned socio-economic collapse, and in part, contributing to the woes at the souther U.S. border.
a periodic reminder that Science and Nature do a terrible job of handling economics
Stiglitz is one of several economists who have suffered from "Laureate's Syndrome," an uncontrollable tendency to pretend to be experts on, and ramble on about, stuff they understand only superficially, if at all.
I was on a panel once with Joe Stiglitz (and Lina Kahn, as it happens) at Ned Phelps's annual conference at Columbia. He was very personable, but when it came to the panel discussion we each had 15 minutes for opening remarks. Joe rejected the clock in front of him and spoke for…
@PhilWMagness Members of the privileged ideology in the academy are socialized to oppress out-of-favor ideologies, esp. by employing a loosely-defined and binary derogatory term to other them and thereby deny their autonomy.
@PhilWMagness It is used especially to keep non-neoliberals in line as anyone who deviates from the dominant ideology risks being othered by the epithet even when they openly reject it. Case in point is Jeff Sachs: fpif.org/jeffrey-sachs-…
@PhilWMagness The same guy who praised Hugo Chavez’s economic policies is asking us to abandon free markets. Why would anyone listen to him?
