I'd just laugh at this fucking dork if he wasn't a perpetrator and promoter of sexual violence and slavery. Real monsters exist, and he is one of them.

    Sure, call it material and part of material conditions and I won't even argue against that.

    What I will argue against is the belief that some have that propaganda doesn't influence people because people would have done the exact same things with or without that propaganda exposure.

      Saying propaganda doesn’t influence people is anti-materialist lol, I hope nobody is actually saying that. If propaganda didn’t work it wouldn’t be so ubiquitous. This seems like pretty basic base/superstructure shit that anyone calling themselves a Marxist should understand.

        Not yet in this thread, but old struggle sessions way back did make that claim. I won't name names.
