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.

    I don't understand how this person is teaching economic/political anthropology. The school was probably desperate to fill out their Both Sides Quota, and this chud was the only non-leftist they could find haha

    I'd honestly switch out. There are probably a lot more interesting anth profs you have access to right now o7
