There are those who would argue that Marxism is simply the critique of capitalism; something I would assume that people in a capitalist country would want to study so that capitalism doesn't become a religion.

I would say Marxism is one of many critiques of capitalism, not all of which are Marxist, but I'm wary of this "study Marxism in order to do capitalism more ethically" take (which the Warren campaign really exemplified). This isn't to dismiss the idea of a limited capitalist system as a potential path forward, but I'm not sure you're going to get that from Marxism--a broad and sometimes heterogeneous field of theory but one in which a pretty core tenant is that there's no reforming capitalism.

Maybe I’m just a fucking moron but do you mean tenet?

Not a typo, just a play on words leveraging how it is rent seeking that causes economic anxiety in America and not free market capitalism.

If either of those things were remotely true (and not just like, things that brain-melted zoomers say) I would Sylvia Plath my way straight into the next life tonight.

Of course its a stupid meme. Harry Potter is a tenant of boring progressivim. Marxists have read more than one book.

I just want you to know that I see those xim/xer "ten points for Gryffindor" total Gemini move posts and I hate them just as much as you do.

I prefer the radical converts to Islam over basic beckies going on about astrology*. Say what you want about radical Islam, at least its an ethos.
