You're a retard. Your first line about identity politics and Marxism is CLASSIC Jew mind games.

In Classical Marxism, the "working class" is defined as the class of wage labourers. That this class will overthrow the existing social order and implement communism is a prediction. In Classical Marxism, the objective is to improve conditions for the working class, and implementing communism is seen as a solution.

In Weimar (cultural) Marxism, the "working class" is defined as the class that will overthrow the existing social order and implement communism. That this class was once assumed to be a class of wage labourers is seen as an error on the part of Marx. In Weimar Marxism, the objective is to implement communism, and the working class is now simply whatever group can be used as tool to that end.

The issue historically was that the trajectory of the world diverged from that which Marx predicted. Western wage labourers did not evolve towards a point where their only material value was in their labour, but away from it. Classical Marxists then concluded that the increasing quality of life of western wage labourers must only be possible due to exploitation of those outside the west. Marx himself had conjectured that capitalists depended upon national borders as a means to alienate labour and prevenet global organization.

But again, the trajectory of the world diverged from what was predicted. The quality of life of those outside the west was increasing too, outpacing the west in many cases, albeit starting from behind. The capitalists ended up opposing national borders, as they benefited from deregulation of the labour market. The result was that while Marxism became the dominant world view in the post Christian west, it never translated into revolutionary action. The purpose of revolution was to free the working class from oppression, but the working class themselves no longer saw this as necessary.

Also all the GME thing did was give them an excuse to say "look at all the poor investors that lost all their money, it's clear that we need to legislate investing to protect the little guy".

Literally just stop posting. This could have been done with and moved on from 30 posts ago but you're still at it.
