        I think without a historical and theoretical perspective you end up relitigating the same problems over and over again. If you have a fundamental understanding of the basic concepts of Marxism and the history surrounding the successes and failures of socialist experiments, anti-colonial and anti-imperial movements, it helps bring more important questions to the surface

          the theory isn’t real theory in a scientific sense, it’s just made up bullshit like critical theory

            I disagree hard with you and think that claiming that there is no Marxist scientific theory on one hand and that there are clear cut scientific theories is a modernist picture of the scientific system that is wrong and not historic (though would be shared by many academics 100 years ago).

        tbh the people who read theory seem dumb, similar to people who do critical theory type stuff

          Critical theory feels like the deserter on the fucking island in Disco Elysium.
