The Iraq years set a foundation but I truly got into Marxist theory once I realized I did everything the liberal zeitgeist of meritocracy told me to do, getting into a mountain of debt to study engineering at a ‘top’ school only to be broke at fucking 33 and constantly being paid min wage to the point where it feels like I was preferrentially fucked over for following the conventional wisdom of seemingly everyone
