A less than adoring public

Were everyone to call that which I learned and presented as a “less credible—and frankly, fatuous—take on Marxist¹ philosophy, built on a random assortment of books collected in magpie fashion” ², I should still desire to think and build a viewpoint of my own³.

I’d also strive to come up with original and clever insults that destroy someone’s opinion utterly and effectively without addressing a single point
