      Cultural hegemony is literally a Marxist concept that only exists to justify the ideology, not the other way around. No matter which way we slice it, Marxism in all its forms is a failure. It’s a failure both on paper and in practice. It has resulted in just as many, if not more atrocities than fascism… Yet fascism has been rightfully demonized and put to rest, but Marxism hasn’t. It’s time to move past Marxism, it’s wrong and it’ll never work.

        I noticed you have the ability to use words, but not the ability to make them true. I once thought myself a Republican. And then I saw how they hate. I once thought myself a Democrat. And then I saw how they lie. I once thought myself a Libertarian. And then I saw how that’s batshit crazy. I once thought myself an Independent. And then I saw how that was vain. I once thought myself a Social Democrat. And then I realized that market failures are built into the system. Now, I’m not sure what I am. I’m still learning, and you should too. But I for damn sure know that I’m not a Capitalist.
