"Reality is Marxist" Anonymous 09-03-26 09:43:24 No. 25809
I keep seeing takes on the internet that claim Science™ is Marxist. Is this as wrong as I think it is, and if it's not, why? I haven't read enough of my priors on dialectical materialism to pin down exactly where this goes wrong, but I've taken enough philosophy of science courses to say this is diamat woowoo scientism.

The subject and object are reversed in the formulation. If Marx accurately assesses reality, then Marxism is realistic; reality is not Marxist.

Reality is not Marxist, that's just a clever quip. The truth is Marxism strives to understand reality and has made theoretical developments with strong explanatory and predictive power. That's the real meaning of the phrase.

>>25809 >I haven't read enough of my priors on dialectical materialism You're misusing "priors", this phrase doesn't make sense.
