Thanks! Appreciate it

Thanks! I’m proud that i managed to learn this all when i didn’t have high expectations i could.

Also don’t worry! I genuinely like your rambles lol. So far, marxism has read good to me. I conflict with a couple of my anarchist peers anyway. mainly on instead of focusing locally, i mainly stick to international issues, and the whole viewpoint of imperialism i.e. color revolutions, neocolonialism etc. If i align more with marxists then i don’t see a big issue there.

Besides, i don’t think marxist/anarchist differences matter too much to me. Theoretically/philosophically i could be either, but in practice i will work with any two of them, and will be friends with any of them anyway. Honestly nowadays i just call myself a communist in general, since it applies to both schools of thought

Thanks again comrade:D

Ah it’s a snippet, makes sense. Thanks!

I believe that with existence of private property and the division of labor, classes and their struggle is inevitable. I see after this what’s meant by “marxism is a science”, it’s a worldview built around applying a basic concept, dialectics, to the development of humanity, you start with dialectics and everything else comes later from it. With the explanation of why class struggle is inevitable, the DotP concept makes much more sense.

However so far, all my reads have been on a theoretical basis but seeing the implementations i think is quite important too. Not just AES, but marxist parties in general. An important part here would not just take stuff out of context, but to actually compare them to pre-communism and post-communism, depending on the situation. i.e. not taking the USSR by itself, but comparing to Tsarist Russia and the modern RF.

That’s the humanity, we all knew he had little time and he was happy, but nobody is ever prepared for it :(

Yes, can’t thank you enough for your guidance, it took me some time (a month or two because i struggle to pay attention, but I feel like I understand the inevitability of class struggle, and the basics of dialectics more!) and now i’m preparing to read socialism: utopian and scientific. From how i understand, anti-dühring is very similar (nearly identical first chapter), but is focused as a rigorous critique of Dühring, and not an explanation of scientific socialism? It took more than two years for Engels to write and it’s the size of a book unlike the pamphlet sizes i’ve been going through, any idea which i should choose?

Going back to this thread because I’m progressing on your recommendations (socialism: utopian and scientific) and that last part 😢

Rest in peace Doctor Parenti

Good to hear, thanks

That’s fair. I remember from somewhere I heard he endorsed him even if in a limited way, but I could be wrong

I don’t think he particularly likes Graham, but the “blue no matter who” worms get to him sometimes

I think it’s good that he helps bring new people to the left and I sympathize with people who aren’t openly “communist” but try to ease people in at first, but god damn I wish he was less of a radlib. Supporting a neo-nazi blackwater merc because he supports free healthcare (how low can the bar get?) Is just… Gross.

But he is a streamer lol, and afaik he does more good than harm, so I’ll bregrudgingly accept him ;^)

I always got vaguely radical demsoc vibes from him, and him picking individual parts from Lenin’s works without being a ML or actually understanding the context (working class party) is just dishonest. Like I’m an anarchist but even I see how that’s bullshit.

Supporting Graham Platner was the biggest low for him probably, what little sympathy / had for the guy just evaporated after that, it’s disgusting.

It feels like most of the Fediverse is in Schengen Area

This isn’t fucking reddit where 99% are just euros, americans and westerners. There’s a sizeable amount of people in the global south (like me!) lmao.

Also fuck the EU

A) Afghanistan isn’t even in the middle east.

B) Iran and “Dubai/Quatar” (UAE/Qatar*) are nowhere near as bad as Israel, a settler colonial state committing genocide without repercussion.

Maria why the heart 😭

Sí… jajajaja, SÍ!

Mex-sickos

Happens to the best of us 😁

I love Kelly’s comics but i see comments like the top one a lot, it can be hard to tell sometimes for people who ain’t familiar with his comic’s style

I don’t know what happened in the thread since it’s two months old already but i’m sorry you had to deal with this. Unruffled has dealt with the necroes. You’re welcome on this instance and you are always free to DM admins here for help in case stuff like this ever happens.

It’s not real. Kelly is an artist for the onion and makes satirical comics like this all the time, he’s great at it.
