    Will check out later, I love socialist anecdotal evidence a lot, it isn’t what first changed my mind but it’s what built my faith in it

      She is not an honest actor though. Likes to twist history into supporting her own beliefs which at the time revolves around Islam (she is a convert, wasn’t born into it).

          There is, you get a pass for being born into it. If you actually are delusional enough to convert into it, then I don’t think you were Materialist in the first place.

            Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?

            Is there something about religion that prevents materialist understandings of political-economy?

              “Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?” There is some nuance but still pretty much the same as the rest of the mainstream. That is why people get a pass when they are born into it.

              You can believe anything in politics or economics, it is just really weird that you find yourself believing in non-material entities when you claim to be a Marxist.

                Does Marxism seek to explain the cosmos, or just human civilization?

                Newton was Christian and Einstein was Jewish, did their faiths prevent them from studying the world scientifically? No.
