Listen to the whole segment.

Like listening to Trumpy? (although contrary to mainstream economic ideology, Trump was on the right track with regard to lowering taxes and disregarding the deficit, provided the nation's productivity was maintained...)

So now we have to avoid concepts like "social justice", or more to the point in a 'Marxism' thread, economic justice....?

...with 40% of Argentinians living in poverty.

Like Trumpy, Milei is sure to 'come a cropper'.

I agree, Marxism is a malicious Bolshevik conspiracy theory. It started in Germany, spread to Russia where it reigned for 70 years and then spread to the West when the Marxist-Leninist conspiracy collapsed in Russia.

Sloppy history, there. Soviet Communisn attracted many Western thinkers during the GD in the West, before the collapse of the USSR in 1990.

Q. Why were they attracted?

And why is democracy held in such low regard today, especially among the nation's youth?

It is like Medusa, cut off one head and nine will grow in its stead. It is now here, in a variety of manifestations, all 'mal' to the max.

Yes.....you need to answer the above qestions to understand why.

“Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.”
― George Orwell

Marxism is such a stupid idea.

Much of the 'youth of today' is as stupid and tendentious as you, Bbwian, Mothra, paki et al, their spiritual and intellectual mentors and teachers from kindly to uni, all a product of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
You were, in turn, products of your own class of Stalinists and fellow travellers from the 30 to the 50s.

And so on and so forth, to the French Revolution, to the English civil war etc, etc.

It is not new, for the "youth of today" to be eager for some seductive nonsense, each at bottom concerned with destruction and and fuelled by ignorant zeal. Many, like you, never move on from ignorant zeal, even as they hair and teeth fall out.

― George Orwell

Marxism is such a stupid idea.

Orwell described himself as a "democratic socialist" (as does Bernie Sanders). Marx's ideas on 'communism' predated Stalinist totalitarianism.

But the real culprits today are the neoclassical private bankers running the global economy; currency-issuing governments should not be forced to borrow money to finance the public sector (see the MMT thread).

You still haven't considered why youth are rejecting Thatcherite 'democratic' neoliberalism, and looking at 'socialism'.

Quote:

You were, in turn, products of your own class of Stalinists and fellow travellers from the 30 to the 50s.

Nearly everyone interested in social justice looked to Soviet communism before the horrors of Stalinist repression revealed themselves - and which socialist Orwell wanted to expose.

Quote:

In reverse order....individual greed and privilege always resulting in social and economic injustice which can only be eradicated by the state.

Quote:

yeh...well I suggest you make sure they can all afford housing, for a start....

By now there won't be any unbroken mirrors in your house...lucky for you..

Never set foot in America.

There's your idiotic Marxism in a nutshell: the graphomaniac bozo held forth about EVERYTHING he knew **** all about. And you, silly, ridiculous epigons, are his heirs! Babbling about everything you do not know.

Replacement for religion. Academics and the young crave meaningful lives. Marxism provided that.

The desire for economic well-being - rather than Marxism per se - must be a factor, as youth's desire for home ownership is destroyed by neoliberal market forces.
