well afaik musolini was legit socialist before, doesnt abolish anyone. Where did you get Karp was far left before ?
We like to imagine our villains as born killers, torturing animals in the crib; but the reality is they’re just normal people who were deceived or corrupted into doing horrible things.
I think most people are aware that system benefits from those people and we need to abolish that system and put new one in place. I don’t see point in defending him, he is perfectly aware what he is doing
Behind the bastards podcast did a series on him that went into his early life, I’d highly recommend it as it’s interesting to see his journey from a red diaper baby, to a Marxist theorist, to heading a surveillance-ware empire.
He was influenced by his parents’ activism for civil rights and social justice during his youth and went to many protests.[13][2] He said what he inherited from his maternal side was “a strong affinity to fighting discrimination”.
Karp initially wanted to be a social theorist.[17] He earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Haverford College in Haverford, Pennsylvania, in 1989,[18] then enrolled at Stanford Law School, where he earned a J.D. in 1992.[19][20][3] While at Stanford, Karp met Peter Thiel. The two bonded over their exasperation with the law school and a passion for political debates. Thiel recalled that, “He was more the socialist, I was more the capitalist. He was always talking about Marxist theories of alienated labor and how this was true of all the people around us.”[2][7] Karp said that he felt different at “every institution I interacted with”.[2]
After his undergraduate studies and law school, Karp earned a Ph.D. in neoclassical social theory from Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, in 2002.
And yes that is The Frankfurt school of Habermas and Adorno that the right wing claims formulated the Marxist critical theory that infected all the woke left.

That’s even more puzzling now. That’s an insane swing from far-left to far-right, how do you get there?
He strikes me more and more as a man of infinite contradictions.
