This is some lingering liberalism comrade. Privacy cannot be afforded to critique, and the response to that critique also cannot be afforded privacy especially in international contexts. Lenin was more of an "asshole" than Day to his contemporaries and I love him for it. So was Marx. Conflation of being direct and piercing with being an asshole/being jealous is a form of liberalism.
Day writes articles all the time, and has referenced his and others previous works related to similar topics. His critique, which you can attack and should if you think you know better, hinges on the fact that MMT is functionally no different than the other, already well critiqued, ideas and needs no extra and analysis.
You accusation of jealousy would also condemn all people from critiquing those more well known than oneself and is just misplaced. You only noticed because Day is also a public figure in this community. Is he supposed to stay on his level or something? Only critique those under 100K followers?? Nonsense.
Criticize Day, I encourage it and have my own, though I have very often found that my criticisms didn't land once I read more deeply about the topics.
LMAO
Good to know the Day stans are working overtime, especially when they are comparing him to Marx and Lenin and as well as ignoring the points I’ve made.
Maybe you should ask JT about this when he does his AMA.
"stans" Fuck off. Stop being a lib, your bullshit anger at "attacks" as some form of individualized unnecessary violence is absurd. You're the one trying to defend a figure in spite of a critique by claiming the critique is not @[email protected]
I responded to everything you said; literally every sentence has its response in my comment.
My comparison is not about some "he's as good as Marx" dumbass bit, it's talking about the function in society of piercing analysis and relentless critique which Roderic does and I don't see near enough of in any movements, and Marx remarked the exact same things in his time.
If I'm around at the time I will ask JT why he would want to take such a debate private as well as what function he thinks MMT has to society. I suspect this has to do with CPUSA, and I'm not gonna be angry at JT for that. I don't care really, because I think it's bigger than him or Roderic but something whole orgs/movements will have to grapple with. But, even if JT theoretically is only pushing it because of demcent, I still think he should do his utmost to defend it (and fail and bring that back to change the org).
LMAO
Lol you complained about me ignoring your "points" Then name one that I didn't address
