@toba@zeroes.ca I don’t get why the essay could not be written from a Marxist point of view, given the existence of dialectical materialism and its influence on historiography. Also, I would like to listen to the other side, this guy raises a few flags.

@tagomago@mastodon.social @toba@zeroes.ca the point of asking about a Marxist perspective is that most 18 year olds are unlikely to know what Marxism is, much less how to use it as a lense to view history. And the fact that the students' essays had Marxist talking points despite the students being unable to explain Marxism in person is a pretty strong confirmation that they didn't write the essays themselves.
