This is why I made an account on here. No libs no new baby communist thinking they know everything about Marxism and whatever the fuck this guy was
no new baby communist
I mean we have plenty of those, hell I still consider myself one I won’t even call myself a ML because I don’t think I’m educated enough, I just stick with marxist, it’s more just about if that post was left unchallenged and for how long
You just have to avoid actual debates and instead ask questions to avoid embarrassing yourself ig. Like here:
Person A: “blah blah blah socialist state blah blah blah”
Person B (newbie): “you idiot socialism is stateless”
Person C (also newbie): “isn’t socialism stateless?”
Person C will get an actual response and will learn more, Person B will get screenshotted and added to a cringe compilation.
Yeaah learned that the hard way. I made an utter cringe post once with way too many stupid assumptions even though I understood like the principles of Marxism and that’s it. Past me shouldn’t have presented himself as totally sure of these statements, and instead been like ‘what should I make of that?’. Just by a simple change of attitude - way less trauma xD. I wonder if the guy in the screenshot learned from his mistake?
Many of us have been there. I can recall some very cringe comments I made about China on r/communism. No one bothered to correct me there. If I did the same here, you can be sure someone would post at least 3 paragraphs explaining why my perspective is incomplete and incorrect. You all are amazing!
Same. There’s way too much theory to go thorough. My kindle is filled to the brim with theory and I don’t think I can finish it with in my lifetime tbh. How did Gramsci manage to write faster than I can read?
lmao
Yes the guy who is known for praising the USSR and the guy who is known for praising Yugoslavia, and the whole three who are known to praise actually existing socialist states do not think “Socialism in one country” is a legitimate position to hold when fighting for global communism. ok
I don’t know who they’re trying to fool there, like maybe they’re a trot wrecker? Maybe they are a baby leftist, god I hope.
