What might Karl Marx, writing over a century ago, have to say about how we use and think about LLMs today?
With term starting shortly, I'm finishing prep for upcoming discussions with my A-level Politics class. When teaching ideologies, the question always is: how relevant are key thinkers today?

Tax seems to occupy a strange position in British political discourse at the moment, but I think it is a great opportunity for A-level Politics students to discuss ideas of wealth, the economy, current UK government spending and media discourse.
