Marxism is correct.
How it feels being a liberal who only reads current headlines
Thinking you are always right is one of the surest signs you’ve fallen down a propaganda rabbithole.

Strive, yes. But thinking you’ve already arrived at such perfection indicates a fundamental weakness in critical thinking.

Omniscient is a bit of an exaggeration, I think, this is more about a belief in a philosophy, it’s about opinions. You can certainly have yours, no question, I would simply be wary and make sure the same standards of critical thinking are being applied to things we like and find agreeable as things we dislike and find disagreeable.
When you live in an echo chamber
The analytical tools of Marxism-Leninism do make it easier for Marxist-Leninists to be correct. If you disagree with that, you should probably read Marx, Engels, and Lenin.

I agree. He made great contributions to theory. Foundations of Leninism is great - and he’s a really good writer on top of it. Unsurprising as he was a voracious reader of Marxist theory.
Dialectical and Historical Materialism is a good text as well as Marxism and the National Question. Stalin’s writing style is surprisingly gentle and clear, as opposed to Marx’s literary style, Engels’ flowery style, Lenin’s angry shitposter style, or Mao’s straightforward and direct style.
I love Stalin’s writings style. That’s a great breakdown. Dialectic and Historical Materislism is the best explanation of those concepts.
I actually prefer Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy, it helped me greatly with comprehending dialectical and historical materialism. Dialectical and Historical Materialism is good, but Elementary Principles of Philosophy breaks the subject into easily digestible building blocks.

I will always push Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy whenever Dialectical and Historical Materialism is brought up. I prefer it over Dialectical and Historical Materialism greatly, it is more in-depth and breaks the subject down into smaller bites.
I have no idea what the Easter Island head means.

when you see the world in black and white:
Today I learned Marxism is seeing the world in black and white. No color!
How?
no one is right about absolutely everything
You get that this is a meme, and that “all the time” is commonly understood to mean “very often” in practical terms, right? If I said to you “that guy is getting high all the time” would you well akshually me about how he’s not literally taking one endless bong rip 24 hours a day, or would you intuitively understand what I was saying and move on? Ironically, you’ve chosen to interpret this in very literal, black and white terms.
Of course nobody is right about absolutely everything. But when you keep correctly calling the outcomes of wars before they start while everyone else screams and sneers that your accurate analysis makes you some kind of enemy agent, before reality forces those same people to turn around a year or two later and admit exactly what you were saying, only for nobody to learn anything and the cycle to begin again… shit starts to feel like a burden.
well this is politics… semantics matter, “tankies” (whatever that term means anymore) are right about a lot of things, sure, but theyre no prophets.
This is not politics, this is shitposting.
political shitpositing, context of this shitpost is I. fact political
Bro, the only thing resembling an argument with this meme that you and one other liberal has been able to muster has been “um, well askhually you’re not literally omniscient”. Like at this point you’re clearly just looking for anything to grasp onto. If you’re saying to someone “well you’re not literally right all the time, just about all the important shit” then you’re just squirming around. It’s that weird “ah, touche” energy that your redditor types bring whenever you’re wrong about something but want to carve out a little tiny technicality where you can continue to not confront it.
I’m a tankie and I hate this meme.
Yeah, if we look at Greek myths, we’re more like Cassandra than Atlas.
Uhh… Sure.
right, very funny meme
