roselightfairyMe, not a Marxist*, entering a field of study closely aligned with Marxism in which my current teacher very much is a Marxist and many aspects of her lecture yesterday aligned with those ideals: maybe I'm always already imprisoned by the hegemonic ideas of the ruling class or whatever, but I sure hope we interrogate who this "we" is and what exactly "we" want.
*not to suggest that I'm opposed to the ideals of Marxism, but I haven't done the study required to really understand what it means to be a Marxist, and I can understand and complain about the all-consuming presence of capitalism with the rest, but I don't tend to be of the "abolish it all" framework for anything of its own merits, at least in terms of methodology, and I tend to feel like there is a lot of assumption in social justice movements that everyone is automatically on the same page without a lot of clarifying what exactly that page is
