    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).
