I guess talking to Stalin would have given these guys a heart attack.
Anyway, that entire subreddit is economics students shilling for neoliberalism.
Also note the "chicago boy" who doesn't think that worker ownership and control is socialism because "socialism is when the government owns stuff".
badeconomics is basically just neoliberal shilling 101
absolutely cancerous
Is neoliberal just what we call anything we don't like?
No, it's the modern version of classical liberalism which came to power in the Thatcher/Reagan era after SocDem failed to resolve capitalism's issues.
Two sides can play at that game. We should send some people over there to school them. We're already hitting Reddit hard enough on one side, so why not try another?
I'm well aware of the actual definition of neoliberalism is, it's just that people on this board use the term to refer to policies they disagree even if its something a neoliberal would appose.
Debating them would just result in your post being downvoted to hell and buried. Reddit hates those who oppose the ruling ideology.
Are you sure that would work? The people over at badeconomics are pretty damn knowledgeable about economics.
Not to mention our marxist-leninists would just make us look bad and ruin any chance of converting them we may have had.
Who else are you going to send? Market Socialists? All Socialist economics except tankie bullcrap are basically untested fantasy at this point.

But seriously, market socialist models have the best chance of convincing them seeing as the sub worships the market as their god.
Imagine the hay we could make out of it, though. Maybe we could get some news sites to run stories on it. There's already been an article about /r/socialism's burning hatred of catgirls. If the rest of Reddit is going to act like that (which they most likely will) why not do the same thing to them?
Would be nice if a lot of our theory guys hadn't left. Still, since the topic is about Wolff, there's a preexisting base of information to take into account in the form of his videos. A lot of their objections will be answered by Wolff himself in one of his other videos.
Add to this the fact that Wolff himself is a market socialist and you may actually make some headway.

Actually, as long as we're doing this, maybe some of us should go to the threads on KotakuInAction and dispel their misconceptions about socialism.
That's a powerful level of stupidity right there.
People with mainstream opinions making fun of people with non-mainstream opinions.
Dude those posts are 4 months old.
Maybe we should have sent some people then. But if the /r/socialism drama gets much hotter, they may have a thread about the Wolff video that started it. That'll be a good opportunity.
Pretty much this. There needs to be some sort of concentrated effort to get people to understand how politicized academia has become, but we have a few catgirl haters to go through first.
Bunch of neoliberal classcucks who got assblasted hard when trump won (reddit.com
you are all misdirected, why do you let yourselves be misdirected when you have so many Marxist readings right here?
can you make a commetment to Marxism? Instead of blabbering endlessly?

Made me wanna fucking kill myself
Why do social scientists in economics think that they are actual scientists?
About as valid as "socialism with Chinese characteristics"
Not if they get shot before this happens.
Underrated post.
Oh god, this is painful.
