Assuming this meme is some form of Marxist propaganda, it would be a self-defeating meme, since Marxism is rooted in dialectical materialism which is itself a scientific process. At least according to Marx.

I don't want to deflate your assumption, but "Science is pure objectivity and truth".

The assumption you introduced just added another layer on by bringing Marxism into it. And here's the thing with that fallacy; you may be very right! But, it's got nothing to do with the original statement anymore. It's just going down tangents of a tangent that should be explored under their own initiative, not the blanket of "science".

ITT it's still the 1920s I guess.

Political theory has moved on since those days, you know.

Granted, there are people who quote Marx like he's a religious figure but those people are wrong and stupid.

Woah woah woah, I'm not a Marxist, but you're going to have to back up your claims on how "political theory has moved on" and why that ties into Marxism not being based on dialectical materialism.

Please list all the recommended political theory you've read from the 1920s to now that disproves whatever you're claiming is purely 1920s political theory.

Heh, you're a leftist? Name every leftism.

Look up critical theory if you want to.

Buddy this is critical theory.

I think I somehow replied to the wrong comment, it was meant to be a reply to the guy who randomly started talking about Marxism

Unfortunately that's not how communism works in practice
