Thanks! I’m proud that i managed to learn this all when i didn’t have high expectations i could.

Also don’t worry! I genuinely like your rambles lol. So far, marxism has read good to me. I conflict with a couple of my anarchist peers anyway. mainly on instead of focusing locally, i mainly stick to international issues, and the whole viewpoint of imperialism i.e. color revolutions, neocolonialism etc. If i align more with marxists then i don’t see a big issue there.

Besides, i don’t think marxist/anarchist differences matter too much to me. Theoretically/philosophically i could be either, but in practice i will work with any two of them, and will be friends with any of them anyway. Honestly nowadays i just call myself a communist in general, since it applies to both schools of thought

Thanks again comrade:D

Ah it’s a snippet, makes sense. Thanks!

I believe that with existence of private property and the division of labor, classes and their struggle is inevitable. I see after this what’s meant by “marxism is a science”, it’s a worldview built around applying a basic concept, dialectics, to the development of humanity, you start with dialectics and everything else comes later from it. With the explanation of why class struggle is inevitable, the DotP concept makes much more sense.

However so far, all my reads have been on a theoretical basis but seeing the implementations i think is quite important too. Not just AES, but marxist parties in general. An important part here would not just take stuff out of context, but to actually compare them to pre-communism and post-communism, depending on the situation. i.e. not taking the USSR by itself, but comparing to Tsarist Russia and the modern RF.

That’s the humanity, we all knew he had little time and he was happy, but nobody is ever prepared for it :(

Yes, can’t thank you enough for your guidance, it took me some time (a month or two because i struggle to pay attention, but I feel like I understand the inevitability of class struggle, and the basics of dialectics more!) and now i’m preparing to read socialism: utopian and scientific. From how i understand, anti-dühring is very similar (nearly identical first chapter), but is focused as a rigorous critique of Dühring, and not an explanation of scientific socialism? It took more than two years for Engels to write and it’s the size of a book unlike the pamphlet sizes i’ve been going through, any idea which i should choose?

Going back to this thread because I’m progressing on your recommendations (socialism: utopian and scientific) and that last part 😢

Rest in peace Doctor Parenti

Maria why the heart 😭

Happens to the best of us 😁

I love Kelly’s comics but i see comments like the top one a lot, it can be hard to tell sometimes for people who ain’t familiar with his comic’s style

It’s not real. Kelly is an artist for the onion and makes satirical comics like this all the time, he’s great at it.

I do use flakes yeah, and i didn’t know this; thanks, it’s a useful tip

On NixOS i do it monthly. My internet is bad and sometimes it takes me half a day to update, i don’t have time to do weekly

Is is not. The artist has hundreds of comics in this same artstyle.

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

He and Malcom X were warning about people exactly like Newsom. Absolute disrespect.

None of these people deserve to ever sleep again

I am living in a socialist country, not that far away from communism

What country are you from? There are no socialist states in europe

Yes, whatever de leonism is

Don’t feel bad but just know, now whenever I will ever see a watercolor painting of a dog I will think of the immortal science of marxism 😌

Wow, they have great art; though I will never disassociate that dog with the “marxist-leninist man on lemmy” ever again 😩

This dog is a COMMUNIST

I always thought your pfp was cute, for some reason i thought it was an OC or a comic, cool to finally see the cowbee quadrinity
