    That’s like saying that some culture doesn’t require my attention because the European one is superior

        You’ve dismissed the other person’s political views on the premise of Marxism including the Georgism. There are reasons why this person is not aligned with other Marxists’ takes and I would like to know them. You just view yourself superior to them

          Georgism is both reformist, so it requires asking the ruling class to willingly kneecap their profits, and only covers rent, really, meaning it ignores exploitation, production, imperialism, overproduction, and crisis. Marxism answers those, and is revolutionary, it’s more relevant because it works and is more complete.

            I’m missing your point. Why then would a person have Georistic rather than Marxist political views?

              Most people wouldn’t. Georgism’s appeal lies soley in that it’s closee to the current system, and would be a decent improvement if it was possible. That’s it. Marxism is both more practical and more complete.
