@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist No I think the problem is that you became a “””””socialist””””” because of parenti hype aura moments and because you like human rights or some shit rather than actually reading something. hope you stop being a social democrat some day
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist You can only have actual, meaningful results if you uphold marxism, yeah. What you’re suggesting is what got us Stalin and the fiasco of 20th century socialism
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist What are “material gains” ??? Including religious people would be like if we started including the democratic party
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist Yes!! This is marxism bro the doctrine is invariant over here, if you don’t like it you’re an enemy of the working class, simple as.
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist adopting things like religion is fundamentally abandoning marxism, not “pragmatism” pragmatism can never mean abandoning the fundamental principles that guide communists. Sure, if we adopted a liberal program “communism” would be popular, but it wouldn’t be communism.
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist if pragmatism is when you abandon marxism, yeah, I discard it. And yes, empty words like “liberation” mean nothing without an authentic communist program behind them.
@feralb0y0@prepossessingxx@stendhalist It’s not about “doing something “ it’s about doing something that will advance the communist movement. And not fiercely and resolutely upholding marxist doctrine might lead to “doing things” but they won’t be things that advance communism. “liberation” doesn’t mean anything
@3mericanj0hnson Regretfully finding out that this is actually a real thing and not a series of words that seem contradictory. thanks zizek you asshole
@feralb0y0@stendhalist Distorting communism is what the communist movement tended to in the 20th century and it did nothing. You are either a communist who understands communist theory, or you’re not a part of the communist movement. It’s not because a revolution needs to be “perfect” but communist.
