It's either Marxism or thinly veiled ethnic nationalism-- or a combination of the two, which gets real scary if you think about what happened in places like Cambodia. Where intellectuals were viewed by the regime as oppressors and colonizers.

Meh. I've seen accusations of marxism far more often than pleas for decolonization of non-colonizers, and for far dumber reasons.

> These people have no real knowledge of history

That's a kinda naive take, the ones actually writing those theories know history pretty well. Marx rewrote all history fit his dialectic, the same is done by his children because it really works, rewrite the past to influence the present and get the future you want.

I get what you're saying but this is all way past Marx now.

Marxists are the ones telling everyone to read theory and history, get off your low horse.

Also, could you please omit personal swipes and name-calling from your HN posts? All three of your comments in this thread included that. We want the opposite here—regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

Marxist want you to read history through their bias lenses. They don't want you try to read history as objectively as possible.

It's starting to sound to me like you have no idea what Marxism is but you need a boogieman to complain about...
