As the book describes Marx's influences, the fathers of socialism. I would suggest that your arrogance prevents you from backing down.
It is both hysterical and sad that you find education elitist. It is clear that your goal is to revel in your own ignorance.
And that really is done
I don't find education elitist. I find it elitist to suggest I can't speak on a certain subject because I don't have the free time between my full time job and other hobbies to read multiple books written about, and by, people whose ideas caused, or at least were used to justify, massive starvation and genocide. All simply because that would lead me to use "Marxism" instead of the word "Socialism", despite the fact that the majority of people I have discussed with on this topic were able to understand it just fine. Because, as I said, Socialism has a different social meaning than academic meaning.
The "elitist" attitude I despise is when a supposed education of higher learning somehow makes you less capable of communicating effectively with your fellow man. I have a college education(just not in economics), but I never try to lord that over people or insult them with my credentials. That's not being an intellectual, that's just being a douchebag.
You were FACTUALLY wrong. I showed you how you were FACTUALLY wrong in that screenshot. And still you pivot and mince words. What a waste of time for a self proclaimed intellectual. Maybe go do something more productive and more befitting your education than touting your education on social media in a futile attempt to feel superior. Maybe write a book or something, using your obviously unmatched intellect that puts us common folk to shame.
