It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Hold the fuck on, this person has a degree in philosophy?

People in the imperial core study philosophy and somehow don't read Marx? How the fuck can they understand anything of 20 century philophy let alone history without it?

Good lord.

Also, you don't become leftist becaus of some ultra nerd shit you read trying to be edgy, you become a leftist out of spite of this fucking world after reading a teaspoon of history or just watching the homeless walking in the street whule there is a fucking TV show about superyachts in the background.

In many curriculums, he's not mentioned at all. I took a class on political theory and he wasn't mentioned once. I took another on European history and he was mentioned twice, once during the industrial revolution when the proffessor said Marx was wrong because thwre were factory managers, and again with the October Revolution. He was briefly mentioned in an intro to sociology course by my professor, but we spent significantly more time on Weber. He's been systematically torn out of curricula.

Edit: I legitimately think it was wiped per the University's orders too because the sociology professor was involved in DSA. Likewise in an international relations course, my professor had a May 1968 sticker on his laptop. He mentioned Lenin and Imperialism once and then continued on like it had never been said. I did see a sociology adjunct tell some students (not his) to read the Manifesoto though.
