      I have to be a little rude to get into it, but yes. I am familiar with material historical analysis, im also familiar with a number of other modes of historical analysis and i absolutely fucking never rely on just one.

              The world is full of mysteries and the job of an analyst, materialist or not, is to solve those mysteries. Maybe ask yourself what one might actually glean from a person using phrenological tools and methods......

                      There are so many people who wish to remove methods of analysis from our collective understanding that I often whip out one of these canceled disciplines as an example of how scientific disciplines come and go as the scientific consensus is repeatedly fucked and born anew. Personally I ignore erasure-heads and take any analysis that yields a working theory.

                          I don't pay any attention to erasure-heads ordinarily, I suppose it makes sense that Phrenology would have been shitcanned in it's infancy...

                          ...now if we wanna get into failures and improvements of agTech, well im sure to get banned.

                              what can communism offer to the, for lack of a better term, petit bourgeois?

                              Communism won't encounter this class of people without being fundamentally changed away from Communism.

                                  What I know of dealing with this class of people is that they had to be murdered and gulag'd as de-centralized wealth is an aberration to Marxian system dynamics. --- I'm the kind of asshole who gets really rich on a commodity the commissar didn't think to count.
