    I don’t know all the details of Marxism, basically because I think it’s a flawed view and don’t see the value in dedicating a lot of time to understanding the whole thing.

    The problem is that, again, you are suggesting that company owners be forced to give up their ownership, in this case it seems like you are saying they should be forced to give it away to employees? That’s where all the value we are talking about is, it’s the value of stock, or ownership, that’s worth billions.

    Why should owners of anything be forced to give up that ownership? If they sell or give any ownership that should be their choice, not forced. This goes for anything from your car to your house to your company, ownership is ownership.

      pro-capitalism, pro-socialism, pro-communism, pro-anarchism are all post-Marxist.

      Just like things like “subconscious” or “trauma” or “unconscious thought” are post-Freudian.

      You can be the most ardent unrestricted market Libertarian, you’re still using Marxist terminology. We’re not debating whether money exists, we’re debating about how to use it.

      For e.g., it’s talking about whether you like strawberry or chocolate ice cream, not that milk doesn’t exist.
