He was asked to name one single Marxist alive today to which he's opposing to. But in every single interview and lecture ever, JBP made it absolutely clear that the problem is in the establishment, the Academic scene is predominantly made of left leaning professors, with one in five even identifying as Marxists. The main point here is that Peterson believes Marxism to be fundamentally based on the proletariat/bourguoise dichotomy, and that after all the atrocities and the absolute failure of the Soviet Communism they found a way to transpose that dichotomy to Oppressor/oppressed, basically laying the foundation for modern identity politics.
Isn't asking for specific names kinda dumb? Am I not getting something?
>with one in five even identifying as marxist should be easy to name one then. watch zizek's critique of the sound of music. it's extremely dangerous to prop up a shadowy scapegoat if you can't even name a single person that this "essence" applies to
Alexander Wood
He's a faggot who doesn't even address what the Academic scene actually is- Jews and other minorities shitting on white people
Isaac Wilson
what if you're absolutely opposed to nazifeminism, can you actually name a serious and worthy opponent in that group? I mean, they're fucking degenerates that would cry about doxxing at the first sign of you naming one of them. Doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist, or that it is just a scapegoat, especially if they're coming after you in your career
How can you still believe this after the debate. Zizek was being insanely charitable and coy and even then he came across the bigger thinker by far.
Benjamin Wright
because they arent marxists that was zizeks whole point. he understands what jordan means by it, but hes playing a dishonest game by using marxism in the term "postmodern neo marxist". he asked where is the marxist element. What is one marxist thinker that says this stuff? Jordan couldnt say anything other than default to a vague definition because as we all knew, Jordan doesnt even know what marxism is. This is what zizek was attacking and he could have gone all the way but chose to leave it at that. He's much more merciful to Jordan than Jordan would have been
Hunter Adams
Because he's simply asking for one Marxist professor actually spreading socialism as an ideology to his students in the way Peterson does liberalism. He can not mention one, because this devout orthodox Marxist who is also a postmodernist somehow does not exist.
Gabriel Gonzalez
What about that George Cicerello guy?
Nicholas Howard
but it is a materialist philosophy, right? I mean no one fucking knows how to explain what Postmodernism is so I rely on wikipedia and it says "Postmaterialism is a tool in developing an understanding of modern culture. It can be considered in reference of three distinct concepts of materialism. The first kind of materialism, and the one in reference to which the word postmaterialism is used most often, refers to materialism as a value-system relating to the desire for fulfillment of material needs (such as security, sustenance and shelter) and an emphasis on material luxuries in a consumerist society. A second referent is the materialist conception of history held by many socialists, most notably Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, as well as their philosophic concept of dialectical materialism. The third definition of materialism concerns the philosophical argument that matter is the only existing reality. The first concept is sociological, the second is both philosophical and sociological, and the third is philosophical.
Depending on which of the three above notions of materialism are being discussed, postmaterialism can be an ontological postmaterialism, an existentialistic postmaterialism, an ethical postmaterialism, or a political-sociological postmaterialism, which is also the best known."

As always, Peterson fans are literally falling all over themselves to point out that they're attracted to to their Daddy. Jesus, guys, the overt faggotry is pungent.
Camden Johnson
Hahaha when you can't understand history so uhhh we didn't fuck everything up! It was the juice!!" Hahaha
David Roberts
Oh fuck yeah daddy call me sunshine you rugged, anti postmodernist. Oooh he's sooo haaaandsome! You're a fag
Tyler Martin
hahaha good argument
Anthony Gutierrez
>no one fucking knows how to explain what Postmodernism is
Wow. That's why people love Peterson. It's not because you're all fags, I mean you probably are, but it's because you're the least autodidactic people on the internet. You need some retard with a jawline ("hEs HanDsOme!") and a perfumed suit to spew sophistry at you. Pathetic
Luke Martinez
anita sarkisian
Tyler Nelson
At least I don't blame my problem on happy merchants and instead focus on reality, but hey, molyneux was right, as long as you say "not an argument" then you're not in denial of your retardation, you're still on top! Pathetic
Blake Russell
Because recognising the presence of an oppressor vs oppressed dynamic in society isn't the only prerequisite for being a Marxist. The French Revolution, by that metric, was in fact a Marxist revolution because it toppled the oppressive lords and monarchs in favour of an all-inclusive humanism; the American Civil War was actually a Marxist revolution because they recognised the oppressor (slave-master) vs oppressed (slave) dynamic.
Or, in the flowery words of Peterson: >The Lincolnites, following a moral defeat, realised that promoting Marxism was untenable and so they decided to perform a sleight-of-hand, saying 'well we'll get rid of the proletariat vs bourgeoisie and we'll just introduce emancipation politics! No longer is the struggle between worker and owner; it is now a struggle between slave and slave-master!'
Peterson can't do it because it requires him to do two things: admit his own role in it and name the high Jewish influence.

Wyatt Flores
I'm right faggot
Thomas Brown
nah. Sometimes i wonder if it's the poltards who are falseflagging to turn any stance against zog look like an anti-semetic one. shoo shoo.
Caleb Green
marxism died out in academia in the 70s
Robert Davis
It is just a fact that Jews have a huge amount of influence, you can post 'joo' memes if you like but it's not going to convince anybody.
Jeremiah Jones
Richard Wolff?
Anthony Martinez
>Jews have a huge amount of influence we must stop this!!! goyim RISE UP
Wyatt White
Lmaoo absolutely btfo. Here's another one: Andrea Dworkin, Catherine Mckinnon, shulasmith firestone.
Your turn now. Name a post modern neomarxist who does the things jordan memerson says
Cameron Butler
>excellent speaker I've never heard Peterson speak until yesterday, he was stuttering, grasping for words, he even felt a bit unfocused All this in a croaky voice, as he was visibly shaking (from excitement?)
Colton Harris
This sort of thing probably gets you upvotes on your reddit board but you just look like a child. Egypt forced out all its Jews just a couple decades ago, this is not some fantasy scenario
Ethan Thomas
Ahh yes the great post modernist richard d wolff
Nicholas Moore
I was doing irony, I'm totally with you dude.
Angel White
African and Asian countries have also kicked Europeans out. Is this proof Europeans are evil?
