She set up a succession of strawmen and knocked them down to accomplish her goal of smearing someone with right-leaning views. Marxists have intellectual standing? Their class theory of value, their crucial lack of a marginalist theory, their dogmatic view that only they can claim to know the truth and all else that preceded Marx in the history of civilization was mere "ideology" - all of these are fatal flaws. They don't. In their rebuttals - even by academics, what Marxism offers as their intellectual heavyweights - to economists like Bohm-Bawerk and Paul Samuelson, they literally just insult their critics.
