I audibly guffawed when I saw the title

I didn't post in dunk tank because the concept, title and byline are so silly that you can't get upset with it.

"You are right Comrade Peterson, I will clean my room and abandon this "communism" nonsense I was cooking up immediately."

M. Proudhon has the misfortune of being peculiarly misunderstood in Europe. In France, he has the right to be a bad economist, because he is reputed to be a good German philosopher. In Germany, he has the right to be a bad philosopher, because he is reputed to be one of the ablest French economists. Being both German and economist at the same time, we desire to protest against this double error.

This is one of the hardest dunks i ever read, hell, Marx even went as far as to write a dunk book about guy in the guy own native language just to make the puns and points land even harder. Absolute chad.

Also the title is itself an inversion of the book being critiqued. Proudhon’s The Philosophy of Poverty became Marx’s The Poverty of Philosophy, which is just chefs-kiss
