Going to teach kids who are on track for a career at Goldman Sacks about class consciousness, wish me luck ✌️
#i am like the only person on the teaching team of this class who i think is willing to accept that they're going to get something#out of it theoretically but it's not going to translate into any meaningful praxis. it is what it is at least they've read marx i guess#(i am also not really a marxist so idk i'm simultaneously the worst and best qualified person on this team to teach this)#(i'm fine with the stakes being what they are. it's one semester if they at least are open to marx maybe that'll become something someday)#there is one kid in this class though who is a diehard marxist and has read the manifesto like 20 times and i respect them so much#they were sitting next to the hard theoretical econ kid in class yesterday who is the other That Kid of this class#and honestly that's absolutely the most powerful social bond that could emerge here. i hope marxist kid wins#perce rambles#in other news i am actually reading the manifesto for the first time which is interesting#i've only read some of capital before this#(i am absolutely guilty of being the guy who finds marx theoretically interesting but does not engage in practice i'm sorry)
