>economics is wrong because it doesn't support my ideology!
Pull the other leg.
It's a "professor inserts his/her politics into the lecture" lecture

Also since you mentioned climate change and I know quite a bit about that area of research. Economists agree that actions need to be taken to combat climate change, they aren't stupid google.ca
I know they aren't leftists, but they are significantly more left than the right wing authoritarian USA.
My main point is that hating any research in general is just more anti-intellectualism in a world where this is becoming a serious crisis, this needs to stop.

Fuck off commie. Just because your beliefs are rightly regarded as the young Earth creationism of economics doesn't mean everyone who knows what they're talking about is a shill.

Economists agree with left wing policies more than you think.

Marxism isn't ideology, it's a theory. And it just so happens to be a theory that 90% of non-Marxian economists simply can't deal with.

The greatest likelihood is that the climate crisis is going to kill capitalism. The only way capitalism has survived is by promising the proles a wage raise and a better future. The climate crisis is going to completely obliterate this, and it will coincide with advanced AI automation. Sea level rise and drought are going to demand massive infrastructure projects, mass relocation, food rations, and land reform. Historically speaking, Leninism is highly compatible with these demands.

Research is research, no sane Marxist will reject informative data just because a liberal collected it.
Marx is increasingly making a comeback, and Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century was one of the most-talked-about books in economics the year it was published. Marxian economists like Varoufakis and Richard D. Wolff garner a lot of respect.

Its not a theory because it doesn't explain anything. The labour theory of value is just demonstrably bollocks.

You clearly don't even know basic Marxist economics.
>The labour theory of value is just demonstrably bollocks.
The LTV is still debatable, and it was actually a common belief among ALL economists at the time, including Adam Smith.

One of my physics profs said "Happy Martin Luther King day, this is your last chance before the new president cancels it", but he was clearly just trying to be funny. That's the most politics I got outside of classes where it's appropriate (a sociology class I was forced to take, etc)
