There's links to the source materials within the link provided, but beware: "LessWrong" is itself a cognitohazard a bit like Scientology is, with its own distorted vocabulary, belief that the entire rest of the world is ignorant of their enlightened truth, and all that other standard cult stuff.
A cult that is seriously based on a fucking Harry Potter fanfic, and is paid millions of dollars by billionaires because they like the cult's message. :so-true: :solidarity: :porky-happy:

To be honest the specialized knowledge and social separation engendered by Marxist thought has definitely resulted in more than a few parties that operate as cults. It was all the rage in the 60s and 70s. Insularity and intellectual rigidity should be considered vices in radicals, not virtues.
On the other hand, I think the category of "cult" is way less useful than it's given credit for, and often functions to pathologize a collective rejection of the dominant order.
Unironically, my aunt was in one of those
Now they're just a kinda weird theater group that puts on plays about racism being bad ever since the cult leader died
Yeah, but we're right!

It's easy to understand you just need to start by reading Hegel, a completely incomprehensible mystic from the distant past whose book forms the foundation of all our thought!
I don’t think you really need to read Hegel to understand Marx.
I mean, maybe I’m wrong, but it looks like he did break, pretty decisively, from him.
Hey you fucking moron, you stupid fucking cretin, you know that's not how the dialectics works, right? I didn't read EVERY GOD DAMN HEGEL BOOK IN EXISTENCE TWICE for your Pseudo-Hegelian Fallout: New Vegas Art Hoe "OH IM SUCH A DIALECTICAL THINKER THESIS ANTITHESIS SYNTHESIS" bullshit right now. Stop trying to pass of Fichte as a dialectical thinker and equivalent of Hegel. Fichte was a little bitch and Schelling sucked Hegel's cock ACTIVELY at Tübigen. If you ACTUALLY READ MORE THAN STALIN you'd fucking know that the immanent critique of Hegel only makes the dialectics ONE PART of the construction of intuitive reasoning and consciousness. Holy fucking shit you're such a fucking pseud, you're actually fucking derranged. YOu think Hegel keeps the Reflective Understanding and Scholastic mentality of "HURRRRRR BEING IS THE OPPOSITE OF NON-BEING" in tact you fucking softbrain? I bet you think porn is dialectically making you "volcel" and perform better in the classroom you fucking pseud cumbrain. Fuck you. You fucking larper, fuck you and stop thinking that Hegel posits sensuous-certainty as a complete reality, and STOP THINKING BEING-IN-AND-FOR-ITSELF IS A FUCKING NOUMENAL NEEDED TO MAKE REASON "UNITED" MY GOD THIS IS OUT RAGEOUS. Thats not how fucking dialectics works you stupid cuck. I didn't study Hegel (plus continental philosophy in general) at Harvard for 7 FUCKING YEARS for some LOW LIFE KNOW IT ALL who's CLEARLY never fucking read Hegel as he would KNOW that HEGEL has NEVER FUCKING EVER used the terms "thesis, antithesis, synthesis" to start perpetuating these LIES at EVERY SINGLE FUCKING OPPORTUNITY. this isn't Hegel my friend. No no no. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis was thought up by Ficht eand it's clearly inferior to Hegels dialectical method of imminent critique. Yes. It's called imminent critique. And dialectics is only ONE PART of Hegels full method. Which again is called Imminent critique which you would know if you had ACTUALLY BOTHERED TO READ HEGEL ITS LITERALLY IN THE SCIENCE OF LOGIC YOU DUMB FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. I honestly cannot believe the fucking arrogance to come onto this post. spouting that anti Hegel garbage. Where did you get your fucking info on dialectics? Fucking Jason Unruhe? Jesus fucking Christ I cannot deal with this bullshit right now i'm sorry I'm leaving I'm fucking leaving, you pathetic brainlet
I immanently critiqued on your dad last night.
