  • Marxism prioritizes dialectical analysis over majority opinion

    Also what the fuck even is this, this is illegible. Who fucking cares, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about; are you saying that your imagined form of analysis you’ve named dialectical materialism is more meaningful than statistical facts showing widespread approval? That’s nakedly really stupid, even if you’re clearly an anticommunist it’s feeble to try and hide it behind an absurdly thin veneer of Marxism. Just be honest and say you’re a liberal, or start engaging with Michael Parenti’s work.


  • Marx differentiates between workers directly managing production and a state acting as their proxy. Material improvements alone don’t prove proletarian control

    Socialism is not the electrification of Russia

    as state capitalism can achieve similar outcomes while concentrating power in a minority.

    Yeah, clearly, but you haven’t proven it at all. The revolutionary conditions of the PRC have made it so that regular working people can engage with their government in ways impossible in the liberal world, I know from my own experience of being there and from studies like this one from famously CCP Elite backed Harvard which shows that the great masses of people are satisfied in their governance and feel engaged.

    You can imply and say all day without evidence that the world’s largest socialist country is purely in the hands of a ruling elite which comprises it’s own economic class separate from the working class people it represents, but it doesn’t make it true.




  • Theory? Marxism?

    If you engaged with these things in practice and not from a chair you’d understand that something like true education is nonsensical. What defines true education? Marxism is not concerned with that. Marxism is concerned with what’s effective at creating a better world, a better people, a better society. Something as abstract as true education has no basis in Materialism because it is an idealistic way to view the world.

    I think it’s telling that you jump to assumption lumping in the PRC with reactionary states. It’s a chauvanistic way to view a very real and flawed but still developing and strengthening socialist project that shines as a beacon of hope in modern history for it’s ability to lift more than a billion people out of the most inhuman conditions.

    Ultimately only time can tell the effects of this policy, but if hearts and minds are changed towards socialism again it will be because of it’s material successes, not the PRC’s ability to “brainwash” people.
