I announce that his folk hero status has now been revoked.
Just another jilted alt right dude who was fine when he thought the system was for him and then got burned and lashed out.
No praxis, only edge and entitlement.
My authority to decide this? None, don't @ me.
i think you completely hit the nail on the head here. it's a 20th century mindset (19th century even, lol) that just uncritically carries on the shortcomings of the old masters. non-dialectical! a communism, a Marxism for our time has to uphold queer liberation, feminism, racial justice, etc. as non-negotiable aspects. then again many western leftists (thankfully not too many on this website) still struggle with such basic aspects as anti-imperialism that have been hashed out pretty solidly for 100 years or so!
Literally!!! Aaaaaa I had this out with someone else and like marx just forgot about women. Like they had some good ideas and formed the basis but that was a fucking century ago!!! We need to build in that and address areas they just failed in. E.g. women.

Socialism in 2024 isn't socialism if it doesn't have intersectionality as the backbone of its ideals and people on here blates haven't internalised that.
yeah even real ones like Lenin and Connolly seem so stunted when you hear them speak about women. I guess mostly men are still like that. Lenin to be fair was ahead of his time at least in an academic way wrt feminism. but still a 20th century guy ultimately. Stalin... not his finest area to say the least.
Aaaaaa preach, like Lenin and his views towards homosexuality as well and being a Rosa stan. It's that lack of lived experience imo, people can't internalise the concepts if they are a he/him because how the patriarchy relates to them and oppresses them is fundamentally different. I think people like Lenin are the example where the man DID listen and that says it all.
