    A lot of their (Midwestern Marx) takes as a group are actually just fine, but the bad ones some of their members hold are just really bad, and the fact that the rest of the Midwestern Marx group allows them to remain affiliated says a lot about them.

    As an example, Eddie is dismissive of concepts like landback on the grounds that it happened a long time ago, which is a really bad take. It’s made into an even worse bad take when this idea is not universally applied in his worldview. As a socialist, calling it chauvinist would probably be the nicest thing you could say about it.
