obsessed with my prof having to give us a rundown on marxism bc its genuinely just not taught here. bro really sounded like he was missing the uk when he was saying how the left leaning people here are only ever liberals while theyre more often leftist in the uk

#😭😭😭#i was having a blast tbh #there was a girl in class that got upset when i said that the character in the poem was experiencing false consciousness with religion #me and the prof: well this is a communist writer and she clearly means to show that the character is kept in poverty by religion and doesnt #question her status because of religion #and she was like :( but i think she knew and was using it to feel better about her position #me and the prof: 😶#like girl im sorry no offense but thats still false consciousness #also the poem literally says she gives all her money to the church so its literally part of the reason shes poor #furthering the idea that the ideology of the church (ie give 10% of ur income) is inherently causing false consciousness #jace.txt
