Marxists Then and Now

Marxists then “Marxists” now work sucks Under petit-prélie capitalism. abstract concept produces unclear effect and other word that means the same thing. Dorat claim to unachievable goal because tenure and book sales. No one can disagree with this

A muscular Doge stands proudly in front of a red flag under the caption “Marxists then,” while a smaller Doge sits passively among books under “Marxists” now. The joke contrasts an idealized, revolutionary image of Marxists with a stereotype of modern academic Marxists who use obscure jargon and make vague claims instead of taking action. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to overly theoretical or pretentious political writing.
