    This is really interesting. I just thought sharing what is taught in my academic circle would highlight the differing perspectives.

      You’ll see a lot of disdain on Hexbear for how some academic circles treat politics and economics. Especially economics, since it’s a whole discipline essentially based on treating everything as a perfectly spherical frictionless object in a vacuum. No Marxist understanding (which we consider bad because Marxism is an economic theory which has been highly successful at making predictions). Similarly, academics that echo terms like “authoritarian” are approaching politics without even the slightest understanding of their bias, which Gramsci already described to great effect a long time ago.
