If Marx was alive today, 2025 AD, what leftist strand do you think he would support? Maoist? ML? Juche? I'm just curious to know about your opinions. What of 10000 leftist strand came close to what Marx actually envisions?
>>2186128honestly belonging to a labelled ideology is a symptom of being a person who relies on citations to prove their points;
ie an ml:
>i believe xyz, lenin's work on x proves thisor a trot:
>something something stalinism, my newspaper proves thismarx is the one writing the citations, and thus is unlikely to affiliate with one ideology or another. what you'd see instead is him complaining about theorist x or youtuber y, or tbqh making the caliber of video on youtube that paul cockshott makes; like, what 'ideology' is cockshott? it's not a question that makes sense
FUCK

>>2186322>>2187893They take it seriously that way which is why they are so successful.
How you doing?
>>2187986I love having a formal eastern education.
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htmIt's like having a superpower there's nothing complicated about it, and idiots will mock me for it.
>>2187988Probably none, Marx was kind of a contrarian. If I had to guess probably one of those weird collectivist block chain projects.
>>2188013Because people who think that way won't refer to themselves as marxist with a capital M.
>>2186128Who cares?
For all the great work Marx did, he isn't some religious figure to blindly and obediently worship.
Learn from what he wrote, and from the theory of other writers too. He certainly got a lot of shit right and is still relevant today, moreso than ever.
But as a Marxist and a Scientific Socialist - do not turn your politics into a cult.
>>2188656I never said that. But ultimately it isn't relevant because Marx isn't the sole arbiter of correct vs incorrect understanding on every issue in the universe for the rest of eternity.
Thanks for admitting you have a giant ego and put massive weight on the importance of the label of the ideology you self-identify with rather than analysing things with a critical lense.
