For real, especially trying to get across Lenin’s analysis of Imperialism, or the necessity of Revolution, both of which are far touchier subjects than “Marx good” on the Fediverse.
Marx has been blunted and made tame and by those who haven’t read him.
this is a really good thread on the subject https://xcancel.com/existentialcoms/status/1248728086834601984
Excellent thread. Even suggesting Lenin has good ideas can get you immediate ire, because what he wrote is accurate and practicible.
Indeed, Lein’s work is highly relevant today. For example, The State and Revolution directly addresses the debates over reformism and the nature of the state that we see constantly happening right now. It’s depressing to see all the same arguments replayed as if we don’t have historical evidence to lean on to decide which ones were correct.
me describing democracy
Literally Communism
This is me and my dad so much.
Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.
We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.
He agreed that’s how it should work.
But socialism is bad… 🤦♂️
You have a cabal of elites who say they are improving the lives of the working class while executing any workers who disagree with them
I was talking about Boeing, but I accidentally described communism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
