I was just impressed trump graduated from communist to Marxist. Getting more specific and less accurate!
I swear the republicans are running pr for democrats. Harris went from “communist” to Marxist, and not even attached to Lenin!
Republicans don't know the difference between the types of communists.
I laughed out loud at the debate where he said Harris' father was a "marxist professor of economics". That is not a thing.
What do you mean "that's not a thing?" I don't believe he's ever explicitly called himself a Marxist but he has cited Marx as an influence on his works, as a professor of economics.
It seems basically true that he's a Marxist professor of economics. It's just not really relevant to Kamala since she's an entirely different person.
Why not a Ricardian? I guess it doesn't have that same zing.

If someone called him a Ricardian professor of economics and someone else was like, "Lol that's not a thing" I'd say that the first person was more right than the second, with the same disclaimers I said in my comment.
Again, I think the whole issue is silly. Kamala is not her father. And I don't see being a Marxist as being a bad thing. Considering how much the term gets slung around in US politics to people it doesn't apply to at all, like Kamala Harris or Obama, I think it's kind of silly to push back against it when it's being used with someone who could credibly be called a Marxist. Especially when the much more clear and relevant line is that her father is irrelevant.
Marxist is less specific than communist
