Yey or ney for him?
As someone said in the post
As far as I can tell, he’s a guy who spends all his time posting about how all leftists do is post.
And this ain’t the first time, Roderick’s a bit terminally online, arguing against other based progressive like JT (Second Thought) and Michael Hudson…
That post is literally just saying that material conditions influence people’s politics, a point he himself has made.![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e653a248-4fa8-41fe-ba4b-44a391cc29d1.png)
Yes, but the post says you can’t be a communist unless you experience the material conditions. There is a strong correlation between class and ideology, but class traitors exist from the bourgeoisie like Engels.
They’re talking about the general case. Unfortunately I can’t seem to locate that user or find the post to clarify. But given two interpretations of, “This person was speaking 100% literally and believes in complete nonsense about poverty fetishization that nobody agrees with,” or, “This person omitted a probably necessary qualifier to come across more strongly while making a reasonable and correct point” I’m inclined to go with the reasonably charitable interpretation. Though the poor phrasing might be why it didn’t get many upvotes, and more comments.
Fair
