Is game theory as insightful as it's made out to be? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've seen game theory brought up as being incredibly useful for understanding reality, like the new cold war and the Al Aqsa Flood. Pretty much everyone I've seen praise it has been a lib though.

I have never read about it but my guess would be that it is an attempt to undermine marxism, as many other bourgeois philosophers have tried.

here is a good article that covers some examples of how the capitalist ruling class props up many unremarkable theories in attempts to undermine marxism: https://monthlyreview.org/2023/12/01/imperialist-propaganda-and-the-ideology-of-the-western-left-intelligentsia/

Gabrielle Rockhill stays winning. I didn’t know Arendt was connected with the CCF, only that she was an anticommunist from a bourgeois upbringing.
