    Marxists are hardly alone in arguing from a conclusion. That pretty much describes all of economics and most of political science. Liberal economics in particular could easily be retitled Just So Stories, With Jargon.

        Liberal economists do exactly the same thing and if you can’t see it, it’s the water you’re swimming in.

            Fun fact: Everyone has an ideology. Just yelling “I abandon my ideology” doesn’t change that. Go ask an anthropologist they’ll explain it too you.

            You really need to look into the concept of cultural hegemony. Your ignorance as you speak with authority is embarrassing but it isnt an innate quality you have and can be corrected.

              You see, the Political Scientist major brainpan is maladapted to reflection, and quite simply incapable of grasping such remarkable and sophisticated concepts like “Hegemony.”

        learning about the various flaws that absolutely exist in Marxism

        Marxists are more aware of these flaws than you, lol. Learn what scientific socialism is and how it connects to developing and refining theory.
