If you want to call yourself a leftist and don’t even try to make the bare minimum effort to read anything at all. Then what the fuck are you doing?
I know there are serious comrades here that actually want to build class consciousness and plant the seeds for revolution. A revolution that may not even occur in our lifetime. But you know as well as I do, that these goals and aspirations of ours are not idealistic, utopian dreams. No, we have hundreds of years of philosophical thinking, praxis in the forms of proletariat revolutions, and using billions of us in the working class we will win.
Capitalism itself has sown the seeds of its own destruction since its very beginning. And with the collective class consciousness instilled inevitably by the contradictions and antagonisms within capitalism, they have no choice but to inevitably fall to our will.
We alone have the chance to shape not only our futures but the futures of all generations after us. The planet is dying. People are dying. The only ones who are not, are the parasites at the top who live off of the blood, sweat, and tears of not only the working class in the imperial core, but upon those who been subjugated in the developing 3rd world where they have no choice but to accept our help due to the very conditions we instilled upon them during colonialism.
Stop being a fucking liberal. Start being someone who reads theory and understand what is happening in this world and the history that has led us to this point.
lol you made a thread telling people to read theory and you don't even know what the views and aims of non-ML communists are? You know, people like Marx, Engels or Lenin?
I’m asking you specifically, not leftcoms in general. I’m always trying to expand my theory and inputs, even if I don’t agree with them.
Also, I haven’t read every single book of theory. I’m trying to get more comrades to engage in this site

Okay, well marx also developed himself overtime. There is a difference between early marx and later Marx.
How is this too much for me to ask you what you believe in? If you’re taking from Marx, what you have read. Lol
Ignore this person. They were banned for doing this kind of thing. They were calling everyone libs for not agreeing with them and then saying their opinions are the opinions of Marx. They'll just argue with you in this coy way for a while.
But all that aside, I'm kind of shocked nobody dinged you for the "And with the collective class consciousness instilled inevitably by the contradictions and antagonisms within capitalism, they have no choice but to inevitably fall to our will." part. That's not dialectical. Capitalism will turn into something else and cease to be but it's not inevitable that socialism or communism come after. And there's no guarantee that we will reach class consciousness either.
Of course. I gave up on them lol
And in my defense I’m drunk rn. But you are of course correct. Another comrade called me out for “talking like Lenin” and I mean :lenin-heart:
There is no shortage of people claiming to "improve" or "revise" or "develop" Marxism. None of them have come up with any critique of Marxism that is valid.
What is the difference?
You're the guy who made a thread telling people to read theory, now you want me to give you a condensed lecture on Marxism in a shitposting forum?
Oh come on. Lmao you didn’t answer anything.
How typical haha
Why bother reading Marx when you can just ask for people's opinion of Marx on the internet right?
Yes when I am asking someone specifically what they mean by something I am asking for your opinion dumbass.
I already gave you the answer about my views. You seem to think I have an "opinion" or some original ideas. I don't.
