Guys with rich parents, I presume?

To be fair, they are mostly professors of some kind. PoliSci professors being Marxists seems normal to me but I'm always amused at History professors being them. (Maybe they just enjoy trying to salvage it over and over from actual history?) But there's also guys like Freddie deBoer, who sees through so much bullshit especially the self-serving kind, but then he's a Marxist who thinks gender identity is legit and refuses to hear criticism about either. Although I did notice in one of his columns last year that he seemed to make a distinction between economics and the truth of Marxism, most of his readers wouldn't notice but I imagine he's trying to salvage the "class conflict" theory of history and discard the rest. But this isn't Marxism. Also, it shouldn't take long for anyone to read Freddie and realize that he rejects the idea of the proletariat as the main actor of history OR he defines proletariat so broadly as to always include 99% of people even if they aren't manual laborers. Which again, isn't Marxism. I don't think this is actually unusual for most "socialists" these days, remember Occupy's messaging and how it mirrored the Tea Party and then MAGA.

There are two types of modern Marxists: 

1. Those who crave authoritarian power over others (Nep)
   
2. Those who don't want to work but expect others to labour to provide them with everything they want (Melody)
