Oh ya that was hyperbole idk what my deal was with that, anyways. No by all means it’s good for a third of the audience to be put off by something to keep the conversation going, so if you disagree with a third of what I’m saying that’s beneficial.

A lot of the world systems stuff is arguing over what different terms mean I don’t like a great deal of it although I do recommend reading Braudel etc if you have the time lmao doorstoppers w that guy. I don’t agree with a lot of the structural takes about “historical capitalisms” with the whole crowd. But amin is worth investigating because following him around leads you to abt a billion underlooked antiimperialist organizations & he’s on the right side of most of those I looked at.

Like one weird example is Andre Gunder Frank’s contention that a world system has to be the entire world just because it’s called a world system. Rather than smaller interacting chunks that later become the global imperialist world system choking everyone to death etc etc brb
