The subreddit is just a place where clueless teenagers who just passed Econ 101 with a C go to circlejerk about how great Marx was.

It's a leftist safe space where actual communists and extremely far left radicals shitpost about capitalism and try to conflate monopolies and cronyism with capitalism as justification for replacing capitalism with socialism/communism.

It is a really dishonest and toxic community where misinformation is allowed to run freely if it affirms Marxism.

I presume its based on Karl Marx's historical dialectic and description of the evolution of economic systems.

I might be wrong. Given my extensive, but now sorta of dated, knowledge of political theory, it makes sense to me. But I've been out of the loop on trending theories for around 7 years since end grad school.

See historical materialism.

I was in grad school studying political theory, so I'm not completely winging this.

the sub is mostly high school students who are stressed out because they have started to develop the ability to identify everyday items as consumer products that are sold for a profit

Socialists have been saying that Capitalism had run its course for over 100 years now.

They were wrong in 1918 and they're wrong in 2018.

"Late Capitalism" is capitalism after 1945. Its used by Marxists to talk about the current capitalism and how it should end soon.

Basically, Late Capitalism = Modern Capitalism but used in a negative way.
