1/ Pondering my exact place on the oppressor-oppressed spectrum and getting seriously confused. Is it just me or we all feel shades of gray, that the vast majority fall btw? Really enjoyed reading Das Kapital as a theoretical masterpiece, and just that. @HPluckrose @realchrisrufo
2/ Marx built his theories against the historical backdrop of industrial revolution. It didn’t help my homeland but served as a guide to paint dissidents as capitalists. Just saying.🤐 @ConceptualJames @TeacherMeyers 
3/ back to my “soul-searching”: Grew up in late Red China w. a single parent, worked below min. wage to support my education, married to an obvious “oppressor”, have a comfortable “middle-class” life now thanks to God, family and hardwork. So where should I be? @CalEthStudies
4/ I don’t have an answer for myself but I know Karl would be livid if he were to learn that his 1st world modern adherents are selling his ideas as snake oil while profiting from the very system they condemn.
