I just had the first day of class and he kept going on about how he prefers to call capitalism "the free market" and kept calling covid the "Chinese communist virus". Which is weird to me because he is familiar with Marx and some of his lecture talked about modes of production, etc.
I'm debating whether I want to keep taking the class or not; on the one hand I think it's good to be exposed to different perspectives for the sake of critical thinking, but on the other hand I don't want to waste my time and money taking a class from a professor who is so blatantly biased and wastes so much time in class sharing his political opinions.
That course sounds like a complete waste of time, best case result he will waste a lot of your time giving you the same "free markets bruh!" indoctrination that passes for economics education in the west. Worst case result is that during the constant assault of right wing arguments a few will slip through (we've seen the same happen with anti china sentiment even on this site) and bury themselves as "truths" in your mind keeping you from looking at the world clearly.
I would clearly drop out of the course and spend your money better else where. Any youtube video by Richard Wolf, Mark Blyth or David Harvey will give you a better grasp of economic fundamentals. Maybe even lookup online courses held by some of these people?
