We write "walls of text" because we read theory and have really thorough thought-out ideas! We're literally the Vulcans of political ideologies. Deal with it. communist theory: There is a very classic writing of Karl Marx, a very short note, entitled "Note on Mathematics," that was really a bible for Marxian economists in Japan at that time. The main theme of that note is to prove that the concept of the derivative is in contradiction. Marx's proof runs as follows: Suppose dy/dx exists and takes an arbitrarily given value a: However, Hence, dy dx = a. dx = 0, dy = 0. i.e. 0=0a. Therefore, dy/dx can take any arbitrarily given value; a contradiction. Q.E.D. How did I not dispute Marx's proof? It is still a mystery. In those days, I must have been influenced by the conviction held by the Japanese Marxists that the logic of economics is different from that of mathematics. Mathematics is heavily contaminated by the bourgeois ideology.
