He reminds me of one of Eleizer’s quotes that being profound is often simply explaining an unconventional idea clearly and simply. Moldburg takes fairly obvious assertions (e.g. class exists, society’s real power structures aren’t the same as the theoretical ones) and explains them simply from his own point of view with a few odd terms to make it seem more interesting.
But being able to make things sound interesting from a particular viewpoint doesn’t mean anything about he truth value of that viewpoint (e.g. Freudian thinking can illuminate some sexual or social dynamics, but that doesn’t make it true).
